I posted this on my Frankfurt American High School FB page:

Not everyone was aware that just west of Bad Nauheim was Hitler's Western Headquarters, Adlerhorst & Ziegenberg- an enormous underground bunker complex. I had fantasies about getting into it and discovering a treasure trove of souvenirs. I did grab an enameled steel sign off the wall of one bunker, though. This is about 1955, my sister, Kathy, and me on the rubble of a destroyed section of the bunker.
What different experiences we had as Brats!
