"Actually my late dad was there at the time as a post-graduate medical student. He had very little money but what he did have was not German and he told me he could live like a king. He kept a suitcaseful of the devalued money which he had when I was growing up -- notes with the value of millions and billions of marks which were actually worthless."

I hope that you and your Dad had the opportunity to discuss all he did during that period of time before he passed away.

My Dad laughingly said that he was in every German wine cellar and made good use of their alcohol. I have pictures of him swimming in the Rhine and many castles. I also have a picture of him wearing a Nazi SS officers uniform after the war. He was such a cutup but was a great guy. I, unfortunately talked very little with him about his exploits during the war.
