I was a Platoon Leader and XO in Charlie Co, 10th Engineers, 3rd Inf Div in 1963-4. Headquartered in Kitzigen.
Loved the food but could not take the unpasteurized beer.
My platoon was often attached to infantry and armor battalions on field exercises. Spent a lot of time in the German countryside. Snow was often several feet deep. Jeeps are cold when it gets below zero.
