Bitburg
Bitburg is an American Air Force base that is currently in the process of being turned back over to the Germans. Established during WW2 it was home to Hitler whenever he visited the area. After the war Luxemburg took it over, then gave it over to the French before finally landing in the hands of the U.S. As it is in the last stages of being emptied the base is very deserted, leaving an eriee feeling in the air. We visited on the pretense of seeing Justin but instead spent the afternoon wandering the empty streets discussing the Hitler and the U.S. POW barracks that were in one of the basements.
