What I remember clearly, when we went in, was the sight of our crew chiefs and the Victor chief, sitting on a log bench. Our next stop was to a brothel where we got free cold beers, made our excuses and left. In the process we collected an RAAF crew.
1st night at Bruggen asked the german taxi driver after NAAFI had shut to take us newbies to somewhere we could get some more beer and there were girls, dropped off in Elmpt, walked into a darkened room, projector flickered on showing porn films on wall and ermm, not the type of girls we were after appeared... beer quaffed and departed in fits of giggles.
