Mind, Bayreuth isn't far from the largest US base in Europe. Many is the

time you'd go to work, hear a dull boom, and look up for the thunder clouds

I remember hearing about a seperate incident while I was in Germany a few
years ago. The local media was all over it as an American issue until it came
to light that it was two US boys two German boys and a german girl that were
participating. It wasn't cindeblocks, but
waterbaloons filled with paint/oil etc.
