The last Mystery Photo we thought would get many more replies, since the U.S. Army Europe was stationed in this German city after World War II, and was a most visited site. Margaret Halbert, Roswell of Roswell told us: “It is the bridge over the Neckar River in Heidelberg, Germany. The official name is the Karl Theodor Bridge.:  The photo came from Lea Moore of Shelby, N.C., via Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill. 

Others recognizing the photo included Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; Stew Ogilvie, Lawrenceville; Laura Johnson, Cumming; Allen Peel of San Antonio, Tex.; and George Graf of Palmyra, Va., who added: “I was stationed there twice.  First as a US Army Private First Class during the Cold War in 1971-1972.  Second time as a US Army employee in 1990-1993 working deployments and support during the first Gulf War.The Bader-Meinhof Gang bombed our building during 1972 and killed three of my Army comrades.  I was lucky leaving the building five minutes before the car bomb detonated.”
