Permanent Change Of Station-Germany

Produced: 1980s

Length: 20 Minutes

In the 1980s U.S Army bases in Germany were numerous, and many soldiers were being sent over to fill the ranks in an effort to defend the NATO treaty. With soldiers traveling across the great pond and taking up permanent residence, it was crucial that the Army create an introduction to a rich culture steeped in history yet distinctly modern in facilities. This introduction goes over everything including the facilities the army provides, including schools, shopping centers, and hospitals, as well as the wonderful places to see and the diverse activities across Germany. Stock shots of such places as Cologne Cathedral, Heidelberg, and the beautiful mountains, add a back story to this supplemental film that bespeaks a nation full of splendor and tradition.
