'Seventh U.S. Army troops try Heidelberg beer.' 'Troops of the 63rd Division, Seventh U.S. Army. who captured Heidelberg March 30, 1945, sample the beer for wich the ancient German University town is famous. Taverns and breweries were soon declared 'off limits' to American soldiers who occupied the town after crossing the Neckar River. University buildings, homes and shops jammed with luxuries were found to be intact at Heidelberg, wich appeared to be a retreat for wealthy Germans. The city was never bombed as it contained no military targets for Allied airmen.' De soldaten drinken Palmbräu bier van het Palmbräuhaus uit het stadje Eppingen bij Heilbron in Baden-Württemberg . De brouwerij bestaat nog steeds. Zo te zien smaakte het bier goed.
