I was assigned to the Aircraft Crash rescue in Sembach during 1963 - after DOD “Caught on” to us and closed RAF Bovingdon, England. The winter I was at Sembach, the City of Rockenhausen reservoir froze and we hauled water to the town.
I was driving the last tanker when the Burgermeister invited me and my crew to his home for dinner.
After a wonderful home cooked meal, the Burgermeister dug out of his wallet a letter from a US Army Captain who was commanding a POW camp housing German prisoners after WWII. The letter stated that the Burgermeister was a model prisoner and should be afforded every consideration.
THEN the Burgermeister dug a little deeper and produced a prized possession - an AUTOGRAPHED PICTURE OF ELVIS!
Later Rockenhausen held a “firemans Ball” for us at the beautiful wood carved meeting hall.
