maple_leaf_eh, your link reminded me of field exercises I participated in West Germany when it was called West Germany..
One of the things the bothers me about world history is there's very little World War II and Cold War history regarding the Canadians and the British compared to the US. At least here in the US. I was stationed up north near Bremen, and went on Field Exercises in the Belsen-Bergan area, as well as the Munster training area. Wintertime was spent in Denmark. I knew we were in the British area of West Germany, so I started researching the history of the area. All I found regarding WWII and the region was the German forces in the Netherlands signed a surrender treaty in the Luneburg Heath area with Field Marshal Montgomery. It was more a side note that I found than anything else. I was greatly disappointed as this, to history should be considered significant as the surrender was signed prior to the official ending of the war.
