Cleaning out the garage and found these old signs my father in law, a cold war spy, brought back from West Germany during the 1980's. Thought it would be fitting to show these as I remember him this Memorial Day. God Bless to all Veterans.

The license plates allowed foreign military liasons to enter the Russian sectors and vice versa.

That is a super neat collection that deserves to be on display on your wall or in a museum somewhere.

Way cool picture!

Just speculation on my part, but...

The 4-star on the left looks a bit like George Blanchard. If so this picture was made in Europe in the mid-to late 1970's.

The guy in the center appears to be a Red Army Marshal. Not sure which one, though. Commander Group of Soviet Forces in Germany at the time was a general not a Marshal.
