Since, the autobahn was snow packed, when we hit it and I didn't have snow tires (let alone studs), I decided we would just dig our way out of the Alps until we reached dry pavement.

Yep, at 35 mph, with my buddy's wife constantly bitching about how cold she was, made for a LONG late afternoon and night; roared into Mannheim about 0300, washed my face, had a beer, put on my uniform and went on duty.

AND ...... THEN, I had duty officer that night ........

Well, you asked .........

Well now Hum, it would appear I missed you by about 10 years. Would not be so unusual if I was American. Spent a couple of months there cross training and that was so rare back then that they made me an honourary member of the unit.
