Return to Würzburg Through War's Wake and Silent Streets
A veteran writer recalls a U S Army tour to Würzburg near Munich a year after hostilities ceased. He notes restored bridges and statues, quiet streets, and the contrast of postwar economy with high prices for cotton pants, gasoline at four dollars a gallon, and BMWs on the autobahn.
