If you have been to Germany, in the service, I am sure you have heard of the two small towns of Einfahrt and Ausfahrt. Since I didn’t have a car until I had been there about a year I didn’t get caught in the “snipe” hunt for the two towns of Einfahrt and Ausfahrt.
The new people that arrived with families and that had cars were always asking where to go to see pretty towns and areas in southern Germany. They were told about the twin cites of Einfahrt and Ausfahrt. “Just go out the front gate, turn right then a quick left and head towards the autobahn. You will see the sign to Einfahrt.”
Once you got on the autobahn the next sign you would see is Ausfahrt. If you were smart it didn’t take long to figure out that you been set up. Einfahrt means entrance. It could be to the autobahn or to the drive through at McDonalds. By the way there were no McDonalds in Germany when I was there from 1961 through 1963.
It was all in good fun and people did see some of the country side. If you have driven the autobahn you have seen the exit signs. First comes the city name and route number and than as you approach the actual exit you see…
If you were at Grenadier Kaserne, Stuttgart or in the area leave a comment.
