Do you have any cite for this? Nothing I can find nor anything
I've heard of before supports this. ( That West Germany paid for
US Military )


Armies Of Occupation are supported by the country being occupied. I
served as a US Army Color Photolab Technician (1960-1962) and all of
our equipment and supplies were provided by the West Germans.

Assuming that is true, that is a small part of the cost for maintaining a
military presence.

Who paid for the tanks, anti-aircraft missiles, aircraft, trucks, jeeps,
personnel transports, military member's pay, and the list could go on.

Not the country who was putting us up. Uncle Sam; (the US) that's where all
of the money came from.
