    Enjoyed your vid. Must correct a statement you made very early in the vid about Canadian military being occupation forces. That is incorrectly held as a truth by many including some Germans. Allied forces acting as occupation troops in W Germany ended on 5 May 1955 although by June 1946 the vast majority of Canadian forces had already left Germany. With the stand-up of NATO, Canada sent troops in 1951 initially to northern Germany. With the formalization of stationing NATO forces as agreed by Germany and NATO known as the Convention on the Presence of Foreign Forces in the Federal Republic of Germany, signed in 1954 by West Germany, Canadian troops effectively became guests of Germany. BTW was stationed at Lahr with RCD 1980-1984. Cheers.

    As mentioned previously, after WWII the French, Americans, British, Belgians, Norwegians and Danes stayed in Germany as occupation forces. The Canadians left after the war, and returned to Germany in 1951 as defenders of the German soil and the German people, not as occupiers. Nice video though.

    Just a minor point; Canada was not part of a NATO occupying force. That role ceased in the 1960's when the Brigade was part of the BAOR in northern Germany.

    We were there in the 60-70's and we could never go inside either. What a treat. The stork nest was still there when we got there but i don't ever remember seeing the storks. I believe that during Fashing the witches would take a young lady from the crowd and she would be put in the tower until the end of Fashing...thank you for the memories. I have to share too.

    Thanks for sharing. It has brought back many memories as well. And now I finally know which house Thomas grew up in 😉 The house I grew up in was also by Dingler and matter of fact still belonged to the Dingler Family. We were renting a few rooms. Chatting with Thomas per email about our childhood has brought back many memories, helped put some things into perspective and has been healing. Can't wait for the full documentary!
