Pot-Luck-Humor - Oktoberfest Preparations In Munich

 

 
 
 
This Oktoberfest sure brings back memories--I was stationed 80 miles from Munich when I was in the Army
back in 1955 & 1956.  It was  about  an 1.5 hrs drive from Nuremburg.
 
I don't know how we ever go back to our base considering how much beer we drank.
 
It wasn't as fancy as it is now--don't forget when I was there -- it was only 10 yrs after the 2nd world war.
