U.S. Army Europe is the operational-level Army force assigned to U.S. European Command. My ex was in Germany for 6 yrs or so working with this affiliation. Not sure if he was assigned or alongside. It's been there since 1914 according to their website. Command structure at least partly considering whichever ally they're working with. That's about all I know. Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |

I don't know what it stands for either. My understanding, and perhaps incorrect, is the USA was allowed x number of consulate members in East Germany and the USSR the same number in the West. There was a hotel for foreigners in East Berlin, which still stands, that was widely considered to have been infested with listening bugs. Hopefully Paco will come along and correct all my misstatements. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

That is my concern. I would think it would say “FRG” not “EUR” if it was per-1992. The President is a fink. |

The name for West Germany was Bundesrepublik Deutschland, which translates to Federal Republic of Germany. This doesn't answer your question, but I thought I would throw it out there as long as I did a little research. I'm 99.54% sure this license plate is legitimate. The late collector Jim Fox, a giant in the world of license plate collecting, had a picture the version with the U.S. flag on the back cover of his book. I think the USAREUR stands for "United States Army in Europe," as the issuing authority of the license plate. More information: Military liaison missions. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

Rep I am sure means a lot. Just throwing out the usual "what are your concerns, Rick" just in case. The President is a fink. |

So talk really loud, then. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

With only nine of these plates made, it is hard to put a value on it, but I predict this will close around $1500. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |
