Best Moment Getting on the "movie circuit" so we could have entertainment.
Worst Moment Weather. No spring r summer. Snow all year, frost - often freezing, winds, and ice. Frozen fuel oil, attempting to use coal bricks for stoves.
Other Memories For the few months I stayed at Idarkopf after returning from Frankfort were dismal. Misions were scheduled, and maintenance performed. No entertainment until we got on movie run. Did not have a club until we built one and stocked it ourselves. The nearest village was many miles away, and the roads were usually so bad (weather) we never left the mountain. The squadron deployed as a unit; therefore, everyone had the same rotation date. As replacements came in, a lottery was held to see who got to go home. My rotation date was some 30 days late.
