Lol! They're so different tbh.

 

One drops DIY hash pills, the other a horror film nut,
them and a lot more are GC ...lol

what's your kink?

 

Now as you mention it we should probably look into it. I think they are on each their continent but brassaboy have been to germany in his younger days, so he probably has a few euro bastards.


I think yoy are on to something here

 

My beautiful boys.

 

I will admit to sowing some wild oats in West Germany in 1974-75. Smoked a whole lot of Hash. Drank a bunch of fine German Beers. Ate way more Pommes Frites mit Mayo then was good for me and slept with several fine young frauleins.

Pommes frites and frauleins. Goddamn, what more does a man need?

 

I landed in Germany and less then 2 weeks later I was alone in one of these with a map book you needed a magnifying glass to read.
Grab a trailer and off you went. It became a game of finding a load headed someplace you'd never been. I could be gone for weeks if I wanted to or as long as my personal spending cash lasted. I could fuel at any US military base and there was always a trailer yard in every major city. Could grab meal and a bunk for the night at any base as well. We really did have it made.

What were you delivering?

Man, the stories you've got. I'd dig listening to those over a pint.

 

All the trailers were the same. A 40 foot steel frame with wood removable sideboards covered with a canvas olive drab green tarp. It just came with a clipboard of paperwork with the destination at the top. No real way of knowing what was inside any of them. It might weight 7,000 pounds and was likely shit paper. To a full load of 60,000lbs and was likely Lead and Brass. (Ammo) of one sort or another. Occasionally it would be tarp less and a load of worn-out tires headed to the recapping facility. Sometimes it was a rolled and crashed Jeep, Truck or even an APC off to the rebuild depot.

Not me, Not mine (could have been) but I did get to drive one of these a few times.
All the trucks were Civilian Commercial IHC with Detroit Diesel power.

Then you'd get a security load that came with an armed guard, and the even more fun, a guard, and a tail jeep with machine gun. I never asked what I was hauling and for the most part that event was rare enough. They kept the security loads so random you just never knew until you got to the trailer and found the guards waiting.
" Drive it like you stole it" was the jeep drivers instructions and off I'd go with the hammer down. Like I drove any other way?

That's legend, mate. Cheers on the rundown.

I was still in nappies when the wall came down. What a world that woulda been.

 

I'd made a wrong turn at some point and the dirt track I was on came out on a clearing and I was looking at part of the Wall - Fence and about then a jeep rolled up and escorted me back the way I'd come with a scolding.

Part of the regular deliveries were a monthly convoy through East Germany to West Berlin. You see that box hanging in front of the wheels on the trailer? I was the 6th truck in line when the 7th trucks tarp was unrolled and a near dead East German was dumped out. He survived his escape but that shows how desperate people were to get out. We had learned to unroll every tarp well out of sight of the boarder once back on western soil when the lazy East Germans didn't do it. Mostly they were content to just drive a bayonet into every tarp.

What an experience. And the Allies/West Germany was cool about letting everyone over the border?

First thought that comes to my mind is fuck! those tarps. Good canvas like that, just throwing the bayonet into them. What a waste, I could always always use a good tarp
