It was just known as Falling-f***ing-bostel by the Brit military! Yes the Greek restaurant was there in 1992 when I was there.

Was the Greek restaurant Akropolis located there when you were there?

Manstein may have been a brilliant tactician when it came to the Blitzkrieg and the mobile defense.
But he was also a war criminal for appropriating food stocks from Soviets citizens and appropriating Soviet citizens for Nazi slave labor projects.

Sherman and other Union Commanders cannot even begin to compare to the war crimes committed by the SS and the Wehrmacht in the USSR. Between 15 and 20 million Soviet civilians died as a direct result of these people.

So were many other Germans because the crimes were excused as the allies either needed help dealing with the Soviets, or in using the German technology. Many war criminals were pardoned or had their sentences commuted. However this does not erase their dirty deeds. Are you forgetting these are the people that brought on the planets worse catastrophe in the history of man.
