Part 1 of 3 AFN Europe Command Information Spots or "commercials" from the 1980s. Includes a lot of footage of the Frankfurt Military Community. Several spots are commercials about AFN and those beloved "Think Op-Sec!" spots.
I like it even though it suffers from low quality, probably not being prime source material. Brought back lots of memories, I grew up in hanau, due east of Frankfurt in the 70s and 80s, watched AFN at neighbours when german TV still was a drag and even worked sometime for an American businessman who had a Dominoes Pizza franchise. Most of what I see I that clip is gone now and I wish I had taken more pictures sooner.
last but not least: Thanks for Your service from a grateful German cold war kid
