I traveled around Germany most every week, I prefered to travel by train rather than drive so I could enjoy the scenery more. I spent a lot of time in Kaiserslautern (soldiers all called it K-town) beautiful women and good beer,LOL. I was stationed in Baumholder for awhile, there were under ground tunnels there where our barracks were. Rumor had it that those tunnels were Hitlers hideout, of course they were off limits to us but we sneaked in anyway to look around.


They were still a lot of old German military vehicles in there, and still had electric lights that worked. Those tunnels went for miles in different directions, it was really creepy down there. I really had a blast while I was there, Nov. 1969 I got orders for Viet Nam and the party was over.

So I'm currently stationed in Baumholder, Germany and was curious if you knew the location of those tunnels. I've heard about them but nobody knows where they are at. I know some of the German locals know about them and I overheard the Polezi talking about them before too. I'd really like to explore those tunnels if you know where they are.
