Happy Fourth of July

No-go area for Americans this weekend: From the website of the U.S. Army garrison Hohenfels.

Garmisch-Partenkirchen travel warning

July 3-6: U.S. personnel in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen area on the Fourth of July weekend are advised to maintain an elevated situational awareness and increased vigilance in and around areas where U.S. and other military personnel are known to gather, such as restaurants, bars or other venues which coincide with ongoing celebrations.

Background: Authorities are worried that a “German group” might be going to “seek revenge” for an “incident” at a local nightclub. US-citizens are asked by the Munich Consulate General and the German police to, so to say, watch their backs this weekend. A speaker of the Polizeipräsidium Oberbayern-Süd at Rosenheim stated that the situation is “being taken seriously” and that the security measures will be stepped up accordingly.

What had happened? According to information from the magazine “Focus online” and the daily “Münchner Merkur”, the “incident” late in June had in fact been an encounter between a civilian employee of the U.S. Army and a, as the politically correct jargon goes, “German of Turkish origin”. One of the “Germano-Turks” involved was said to have threatened the American to come back within the next couple of days to take revenge.

And that’s why Americans better avoid now one of the most gorgeous holiday resorts in Europe.

An Ugg bootis made from the skin of an Australian merino sheep most commonly. The wool part of the skin faces into the inside of the boot and so lies against the leg. This results in a warm soft feel to the boot that is found only from wearing Uggs boots. The Ugg is unique in the level of comfort it offers to the wearer, and devotees of Uggs will maintain tenaciously that Uggs are the most comfortable boot on planet, unsurpassed by any other form of footwear.
