[KS] The Korean War Conference (AKS)

[Werner Sasse]

Just a shot note: the American Army downgraded their commitment in Europe and so the FRG, which was supposed to be demilitarized, got an army, a major change in the German-European-American theatre... I believe that was the last step to 100% souverenity.
And when the Korean War was over, Germany bought used tanks (and maybe other stuff?) Anyway, I was in a tank unit and we received tanks which showed traces of warfare (even holes from impact...)

Somewhat short notice but that is not unusual.

Odd however, that there is no mention of
the rest of the world. Europe (East and West) was very much affected by the Korean
War – Britain lost 1000 in the war. Poland, East Germany and other
Eastern countries were major suppliers of assistance during and after the war.
No Japanese scholars? The United Nations and the Korean war seems to be totally
missing.

  If you reside in Seoul, the easiest way is to
  take bus no. 9003, from a bus stop located nearby exit 12 of Euljiro-3ga
  Stn line no. 2 and 3(go to the bus stop which is closer to the
  intersection); the bus goes straight to the main gate of the
