SHARKHUNTERS
"Southern Patrol"
Germany, Austria, Italy, Slovenia and Croatia
First days - München! The name of the city, München, means "place
of the monks" and it is very old with a great deal of history.
Sharkhunters made a lot of history here too. Click on this photo of
München and join us in this beautiful city.
MARILYN TIMMS (5516-1998) sent this email:
"I look forward to
everything from Sharkhunters. I've almost finished putting
together a scrapbook from the Patrol. What
an incredible experience
that was. Thank you so much."

MARK KUBA (7306-2008) brought his mother along on this "Patrol".
Here is what MARK thought of the tour:
"The trip was a dream come true. I am still
living in Austria in my mind and would love to
go back next year! Austria
is the land of Hansel and Gretl, unspoiled where man lives in
harmony with
nature. It is Paradise.
Ten years ago when I was awakened, I was really poor
but wanted to go to Germany
and Austria & interview all the living leaders of WW
II. Harry did it instead!!! The work
was done! My trip
highlight was MANFRED ROEDER (1517-1990).
Next is the famous city of Nürnberg. There is a tremendous amount
of history in this city. Click on the photo and join us.

TROY (7255-2007) had this to say about the "Patrol":
"I had a fantastic time! My best memories of the Patrol
were Zeppelnfeld, Congreßhall and Nürnberg. The Patrol was great!"
After our historic time in Austria, we went to Croatia for the first time.
You won't believe this place! Click the photo.

When one thinks of Bavaria,
OKTOBERFEST pops into mind. We ended our "Southern Patrol" there on the 'wiesn'
which is the German word for 'Meadow'. The first many Oktoberfests were
held in a meadow. Today it is a huge midway.

MARK KRATZ (7271-2007) gave us this report:
"I had a
fantastic time! This was a great tour. Being my first time
in Europe, it
exceeded my expectations."
