The main gate of the post, the ever-manned gate through which you could not exit without a pass issued by an officer or certain NCO's. The unauthorized hole in the fence that led to Viktor's Gasthaus (mentioned in my previous post) would have been to the right, down about 1/2 mile. If you left the main gate the road led you to the village of Muenchweiler, pictured on the postcard below. |
