[QUOTE="mhnessie, post: 494838, member: 4324"] The USA is simply a land of immigration. Every time when we visit the US we have interesting conversations with people with german roots. Its always the same situation and starts like this :D : Q: "Hey, are you guys from Wisconin?" (Because of my Packers hat or my wifes Badgers shirts ;) ) A: "No, we are Packers fans but we are from Germany". Q: "Packers fans from Germany ? Awesome. Where do you live in Germany ?" A: "We are from Hamburg, northern part of Germany." Q: "Do you know xxxxx (Heilbronn, Stuttgart..) ? My grandfather, father, cousin, uncle, I..... was born there........." :) This time in Phoenix we met a former US Air Force officer who was based in Hanau (near Frankfurt) and married a german wife and is now living near Las Cruces and in Tucson we met a sales assistant in a shop with name "Trudy" (born as Gertrude) whose family is living in the Stuttgart area. My grandfather had to fight in WW II, on the German side, and never talked about war until I was a teen because of his horrible experiences. When I went to Scotland for the first time an older collegue of my father told me his story that I didnt know before. He was in Scotland as a prisoner of war and had to work on a farm somewhere in Scotland. He made friends with the farm owner and his family and after beeing released he returned almost every year to visit the family and his beloved Scotland. PackerFan71, Marko Marin on starting line-up? :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
