Classics from a forgotten age. Randomly, one of the wonders of living in Germany is the local fascination with Wild Western fictions. I was at a Campingplatz on the island of Rügen a few weeks ago and the little commissary had a collection of bizarre and undated Wild Western novelettes from the old DDR that must have dated from the 60s and 70s.  When my Deutsch is good enough, I'll pick up a few. My lovely girlfriend has informed me that near Hamburg there is even a Wild West theme town.
