Tullahoma had a unique opportunity today. A gentleman named Alex came all the way to Tullahoma, Tennessee from Germany with a couple of friends from Franklin, TN, for a special purpose. Alex's grandfather, whose name was Otto, spent two years in the United States as a POW, and about a year of that was Camp Forrest.

Alex wanted to visit Tullahoma to see the places his grandfather would have been during his time here before going back to Germany after WWII ended. Along with Dr. Taylor from the Camp Forrest Foundation, Greg Gressel from South Jackson Performing Arts Center, Gavin Dishon from the Tullahoma Municipal Airport, and Lyle Russell from City Administration, Alex was able to see the area that was once William Northern Field, learn about History Park near the Tullahoma train depot, see the ruins in old Camp Forrest, and visit the Tullahoma Museum of History and Culture at SJPAC to take a historical walk in Otto's shoes during his time in Tullahoma over 75 years ago. What an extraordinary opportunity to connect with local history on a global scale and see how Tullahoma connects to the larger fabric of American (and German) history. Thank you for your visit, Alex!
