He was a nice but feisty old man who did spend some time in lockup in South America but not because he was a Nazi - but because he was against the Nazis.Kelly Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00628516108497526993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1245944348321146643.post-75022035002719203772013-09-09T05:41:26.382-07:002013-09-09T05:41:26.382-07:00I was stationed at the School in 1982, then called...I was stationed at the School in 1982, then called the Defense Language School. My German teachers included a former SS soldier "Herr Troutman" a Lieutenant in the Panzer Corps (Forgot his name) and my home room teacher "Hans Jung," who was a former NAZI spy who spent the war years in US custody after being arrested at the border of Mexico in 1941. I was told, but can't confirm, that Herr Jung was arrested once again in 1986 or 1987 by the FBI for being an East German spy. All the students thought Herr Jung was a little strange because he used to teach that the Holocaust was a hoax. dhankelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09085405315741156842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1245944348321146643.post-152701895291975212012-01-20T23:46:18.500-08:002012-01-20T23:46:18.500-08:00Hi Bill,
Just found this and had to comment since...Hi Bill,<br /><br />Just found this and had to comment since I was in Army Intelligence and learned German in 1973 at the language school. Back then it was called DLIWC = Defense Language Institute West Coast because they had a smaller school on the East Coast at Ft. Meade MD. In 1976 they closed the East Coast school and centralized it all in Monterey so the name changed to DLIFLC.<br /><br />It's pretty far-fetched to believe that Oswald was ever assigned there since between 1947 and 1963, it was called ALS = Army Language School, and was predominantly army personnel with some Air Force people, but definitely no Navy or Marines. <br /><br />I do recall the other language school, the International school down the Franklin St. hill, but that was for civilians and mostly foreign service diplomats. Now it's a graduate school of Middlebury College, but then it was foreign service. However, I doubt Oswald would have been there either. <br /><br />Anyway, thanks for reminding me of a time in my life 40 years ago when I experienced a Paradise while in uniform. <br /><br />Tom Mellett<br />Van Nuys, CAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
