During WW II Molsdorf Palace was occupied by American troops.
On October 9 2000 a group of American WW II veterans visited Molsdorf Palace.
 In 1945 Americans and Germans were enemies  - but this time friends came to friends.

This is the text of an e-mail which was received by a participant
before he went on the trip to Germany:
"Sid: Take plenty of film with you, when you go to the Moesburg castle (remark of the webmaster: Molsdorf Palace) you will be seeing some beautiful art both on walls and ceiling. You will also be given covers for your shoes so that the floor isn't marred. It has a shine out of this world.
General Mc Bride had his CP (command post) here.
When they show you the back side of the castle, this is where I came onto the scene with my machine guns mounted on my jeep. Sure brought back memories, too much so, had a couple of my men KIA (remark of the webmaster: killed in action) there.
Sorry I can't be with you as it sounds like you are going to be shown a great time... Have a good trip. Bob M"
