Around Munich and Salzburg

My Mother and Audie Murphy Ch. 69

April 1945. In Germany the four clubmobilers finally got their own clubmobile, a two-and-a-half-ton GMC truck. Flo was very proud that she could drive it. The vehicle must have required some modification for the women. At five foot two, it’s a wonder that Flo could reach the pedals. The clubmobilers were tasked with driving around to rest camps serving donuts. They managed to get over the border into Austria for some sightseeing. Photos are from Flo’s album.

Schloss Klessheim, a baroque palace near Salzburg built 1700, became 3rd Division headquarters.

Schloss Klessheim was shrouded in camouflage to hide anti-aircraft guns and defensive positions when 3rd Division forces captured it on May 4, 1945. It was described as “Hitler’s guesthouse for visiting foreign plenipotentiaries.

  1. Your mom was something else! You must feel very proud of all that she has done. Dr. Minerva? very interesting. I was in Salzburg in 1997 and was quite impressed. I especially enjoyed seeing Mozart’s home and where he composed all that beautiful music. I was happy to be able to be there. Thanks again for all the good news from your mom. Minerva🥰
