Born in Germany 1961For me that little book started it all.
A collector friend loaned me his copy circa 1970
I saw the photos of the collections of the "old time " collectors
Walter E. Hartmann and Cliff Foster I sat down and made up
a want list .I said to myself ; " This is for me "
Cliff Foster was in the U S Army stationed in Germany
He bought helmets and steins and shipped them back to
my mentor Robert ( Bob ) M. Ledbetter in Memphis , Tenn.
I would go to Ledbetter's house and buy what I could

I was stationed in Germany 1981-1991. By then all the best was gone. No. Joke. No collecting Hauben back then...
