The name of the book is Bremen Port Command’s “GI Paradise”.  So far, I’ve had time to put together an index of the narrative and photographs included in the 58-page book (the index is attached also).  The book is quite fragile, somewhat damaged, but quite legible.  

The scope of the subjects covered in the book include a PR-description of all the theaters (a list of the theaters is attached to this message also), clubs, beer parlors, ice cream parlors, libraries, sports facilities (stadiums, golf course, stables, boating, gymnasiums, etc.), AFN Bremen, Chaplains, and an extensive presentation about the tour of Denmark available for any GI who wanted to spend $25.00 for a six-day excursion to Copenhagen. 

 The newspaper clippings include many items.  One shows the 17^th Major Port Directory, dated May 3, 1946, an organizational listing of all offices and officials of the Bremen Enclave.  On the back-side of that page are many interesting articles (several describe the arrival of the USAT “Thomas Barry”, which transported the first dependants to arrive in the European Theater since the end of hostilities). 

Another set of clippings describe the terrible devastation and deaths caused by the huge explosion that resulted from the accidental detonation of enemy ammo stored at the Speckenbeutel dump (about one and three-quarter tons of German munitions exploded).  Three of our soldiers and 3 POWs were killed in the explosion.
