Greg - Apparently, the quest for female companionship is not unique to the CAV / Armor community.
What I found surprising is that unlike the U.S. Army, the Bundeswehr Air Assault / Airborne Community actually seems to like girls......

P.S. - My postcard appears to be dated 1963, making it the same age as me.
On a humorous note after seeing this. I worked with an ex BW para and to put it nicely, I do not think he liked girls. But he sure liked inviting all us guys out to play badminton with him Lets just say he could surely be a good interior decorator.

Team - Just to clarify my weak attempt at humor in Post#2, the "in-joke" in the U.S. Army is that those in the Air Assault / Airborne community are so zealous in executing their duties that they soon lose interest in dating or having any kind of social life outside of the Army.
Please be assured that I am not attempting in any way to make anyone feel unwelcome or uncomfortable on the BRD forum.
Attached below is another example of a 1963 dated Bundeswehr post card, this one playing on the loneliness of basic training.
