Yeah. Red Brigade & Bader-Meinhof were popping back then. I was there when they blew up the disco in Berlin & grabbed a USAF guy & cut his head off—not to mention the “accidental” explosion of the Pershing 2 at Heilbronn P2 base.
To be honest, I loved serving in Germany at that time because it was real. I know it sounds odd, but it was not the games we played at state side posts.
Also, I think an American General was taken hostage in Italy. We also had some German biker gangs passing through. On top of that, German Police were not to be messed with. The biggest, baddest guy with the Police was usually the smallest. They all carried submachine guns back then.
