Her name, Christal Albrecht, has a rhythm when you say it, like the rhythm when she walks. Her last name, Albrecht, means noble. How true! She is a 27-year-old German girl, blonde, about five foot six when stretching. And with a sculpted figure where every inch has a beautiful purpose. Wade Collins, a 30-year-old Army Infantry Captain met her in May of 1953 while both were working in the small American Tourist and Information building in Berchtesgaden, Germany. It was love at second sight. That is to say, the second time Wade took Christal out it came over both of them like an uncontrollable tide. It was on Tuesday, May 8, 1953, exactly eight years to the day after the end of World War II in Europe. On that momentous evening they dined in the Skyline Room of the General Walker Hotel on the Ober Salzburg, high above the little village of Berchtesgaden.
Christal was a child of the war. It began and ended while she was still a teenager…thirteen when Adolph Hitler invaded Poland in 1939, and nineteen when it was over in 1945. In between millions of people were killed or maimed, while even more millions, were left dazed and destitute.
