Throughout the class we learned a lot about German culture and the influences that the country's history had on it's current shape. My question though is does America have a military influence in Germany anymore, as it did after WWII during the occupation of Germany? I was born in Germany on an American base that I know is not there anymore, but I hear about troops there still. I want to know why they are there and how that impacts the German culture/politics/economy.
hi Kevin - some GIs are still in Germany. But a lot of the troops left. For example in Wuerzburg, where I live, only a few are still here. In the 60s, 70s, 80s and even 90s there where much more here in Northern Bavaria.
