Was that before or after Harry Truman ended MacArthur's career - with a pen?

Oh, and in case I didn't mention it earlier - Welcome Aboard!

Only 2-5? I don't know so few.

Berlin, Hamburg, Bonn, Koln, Frankfurt, Wiesbaden, Baden, Munich, Lahr, Dortmund, Dresden, Leipzig, Halle, Augsburg, Potsdam, Nuremburg, Weimar, Hannover, Stuttgart, Heidelburg, Lubeck, Lunenburg, Magdeburg, Rothenburg, Bayreuth, Nierstein, Oppenheim, Bernkastle, Deidesheim, Koerner...

That's just a few that come quickly to mind. Perhaps some are too small to be considered cities.

There are so many ways to know of a German city: History (military, social and religious), music, wine, people...

THANK YOU, YOU´RE THE MAN!!! You mention so many cities, but you don´t mention Düsseldorf which just proves my point: nobody knows Düsseldorf. Gonna send this to my friend, SO THERE!!! Cheers, AS

Dusseldorf, that was one of the towns mentioned often in Hogans Heroes. That and Heidelberg. Must be where he's getting it.

Augh!!! How could I forget Dusseldorf?!? (I didn't mention Essen or Duisburg either. Is it something about Nordrhin-Westfalen?)

Anyway, you are right. One hardly ever thinks of Dusseldorf. My only mental connection to it is through the topic of airports.

I'm a bit disappointed in myself that I didn't think of Worms, Munster, Rostock, Mannheim, Saarbrucken, Ulm, Aachen, or Bremen.
