Thank you from Canada for sharing your flight over Contwig. My father was posted at the Canadian Forces base ( 3 Wing) 1961-65. We lived on Gutenbrunnenstrabe where that street meets Bergstrab during those years I could pick out the house I lived in and other sites I use to play as a child on your video brought back to many fond memories of my childhood in Germany. Once again, thank you for your flight and upload. Wally, Quispamsis, New Brunswick, Canada
Kyle: My father was at 3 Wing, too, and we lived at 9 Bergstrasse in Contwig from 1964 - 1969. My two sisters and I had a truly fairy-tale childhood in that beautiful little village. We talk about it still. And I miss that place so much!
What a great trip down memory lane! I'm an Army brat who's father married a sweet girl from Contwig in 1954. We lived in Contwig with my Oma, Tante and family for 6 years when I was young. I spent many mornings walking with my Oma into town for brotchen. We always stopped at the candy store and I got Milka for the brotchen and a few gummy's. Stopped at the Swartzbach to feed the swans some bread crumbs. My family still lives there and I took screen shots of our homes :) You covered them perfectly! Thank you, I'm crying happy tears.
Great job! We lived in Contwig from '86 to '89 when we were stationed at Zweibrucken Air Base. Brings lots of memories!

It is just "that kind of town"
What a nice tour of the Vaterland! My ancestors left here for America in mid-1800's.
Very nice, what was the family name?
