<div id="ygrps-yiv-1158184907">So are you saying it was a &#39;temporal enclave&#39;, that is, an enclave in time, <br/>
and not just space. The surrounding lands moved chronologically forward, <br/>
and it remained in a pre-war rut...<br/>
Reminds me of a &#39;young adults&#39; novel &quot;the maps of time&quot; in which a kid buys <br/>
some old ordnance survey maps from a weird secondhand shop, and starts <br/>
erasing bits of them, and they are erased in real life...<br/>
Great read if you can find it.<br/>

<blockquote><span title="qreply"> &gt;Len is undoubtedly correct about what the sign said, but I agree with Mike <br/>
&gt;that<br/>
&gt;the word &quot;extraterritorial&quot; hardly fits--except perhaps in the sense that <br/>
&gt;it was<br/>
&gt;outside the territory of the FRG.<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;I would classify this parcel from the American point of view as a part of the<br/>
&gt;former Germany (Third Reich) that continued under US military occupation <br/>
&gt;longer<br/>
&gt;than the surrounding part that was (together with the British- and<br/>
&gt;French-occupied zones) reconstituted into the FRG in 1949.  In that <br/>
&gt;respect, it<br/>
&gt;was perhaps analogous to Okinawa and the other Ryukyu Islands, parts of Japan<br/>
&gt;that remained under US occupation until 1972. </span></blockquote></div>
