Young lady and I have relocated to Reich where we found gravemarker of honorable greatgrandfather and hearty welcome from hometown whole last goodbye to Opa (on way to cemetery in 1934) was 'well, there's one less Jew we'll have to kill.'  But Krauts are tame now. Visited Strasbourg Münster (Cathedral) today, where they have unbelievably attenuated brownstone colonettes (<ou wouldn't make these things out of wood) and a memorial (on the interior) to the officers, noncoms and enlisted men of the US armed forces who died freeing Alsace in 1944-45.  Happy to see a little gratitude, but the froggies were nice, too.
