Gee, I bet that would have been some good stories to listen to from your Dad's around about that time.
My partner is from Berlin and I've been fortunate enough to go there a couple of times and listen to the stories from her Dad and Grandfather from those times.
The visit to Dresden was a real eye opener, and to see the transformation of the place from what was done there at the end of WW2 is something else.
To see the some of the old buildings that have been resurrected and the visits to the museums just takes your breath away.
It's a great place to visit and a lot to see and do and the beer isn't too bad either.
