Life as a Tank Commander in Cold War Germany--On a Podcast

Me in 1977 in Germany on top of my tank

Today the second of two episodes of the Cold War History Podcast went live with Ian Sanders, the Host, and I talking about life in Cold War West Germany when I was a tank commander in the US Army.

It was a lot of fun to remember training for war and enjoying the beautiful country.  Part of my decision to leave the Army and become a writer began with writing home about how beautiful Germany is and the excitement of leading a tank crew training to defend that country against Soviet invasion.
