Publisher's Synopsis
They're back, the soldiers of the Berlin Brigade, 592nd Signal Company. Again they're grunting and rough-n-tumbling. It's the barracks life, field life and off-training training. Sweat and laugh is the name of the Cold War game. There are 'Alerts!' but no wars. "Company! Attention! Forwaaard! March!" But not quite the march.
In the background, the ghosts of the NS past play a role only they don't jitterbug. Soldiers do. Off duty. They are part of the West Berlin night life that hums, the cafe life that bounces. There is a love story, a frat house story but no hell week. In the end the whistle blows and the duty train pulls away to Marlene Dietrich's farewell song, Auf wiedersehen mein Schatz. 'Good By My Love.' It's rotation time.
The year, 1965. Vietnam is heating up. Farewell West Berlin!"
