interesting. divorce? i do wonder what US Army regulations were back then with fraternization with the local women and regards to any children during such a relationship.
I was an Army officer back then (though not in Germany) and there weren't any rules against fraternizing with German women (at least in West Germany). Lots of soldiers brought back German wives. You'll notice that many of the parents of German-American players are divorced. Pretty common for couples who marry young, especially when you factor in the cultural differences
not really uncommon. in fact, common for the German-American dual-nats, Jones's parents divorced when he was 6. His dad actually went to prison, and they didn't reconnect for 20 years (http://www.espnfc.us/team/united-states/660/blog/post/1874261/this-land-is-my-land). Chandler's parents split when he was young and he had only distant ties to his dad (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/05/s...ready-to-commit-to-us-national-team.html?_r=0). Boyd has no relationship with his father (http://m.espn.go.com/soccer/story?storyId=1152629&wjb=).
I imagine then the same with say soldiers deployed to France/UK/Netherlands/Italy at that time and also Korea/Japan/Phillipines? what would happen if say the soldiers just abandoned the women and children?
Pretty much. No real issue with marrying a local as long as it wasn't in a communist country or a country where the local government prohibited fraternization. You would see mostly German or Korean wives at Army bases, because that was where most of the troops had been stationed. If a soldier is not supporting his (will go with the likely situation) children or there is a question of paternity, there are generally processes set in place within the Status of Forces Agreement that allows troops to be located in that country. It may go through the local courts first or directly to the military legal office. If the military member has a spouse and/or children he isn't supporting, the military may order so much withheld from his check and forwarded directly to the dependents. Note, this is also true for dependents in the US. In general, a military member with dependents to support is provided extra pay to cover their support. But that ends once the soldier has left active duty, so an overseas spouse is often left out in the cold once the allotment checks end.
There's a feature about Yeldell on the DFB site (in German): http://www.dfb.de/news/detail/david-yelldell-schwabenland-premier-league-und-wieder-zurueck-156392/
Got (part of) a shutout but was subbed out in the 79th minute. http://www.kicker.de/news/fussball/...onnenhof-grossaspach-5836_msv-duisburg-1.html
Article (in German): http://www.sg94.de/index.php?id=78&...detail&cHash=f9973c7fc79e48e5f0b8949503ab832a The final was his last competitive match in the jersey of MSV Duisburg. Yelldell joined Bayer 04 Leverkusen. Actually, he was engaged as reserve goalkeeper René Adler.But the German international keeper had problems on the patellar tendon and fell out of the longer term. Yelldell received by his chance - and experienced a debacle: first 3: 0 out then 3: 4 lost - there was this unpleasant experience in the German Cup against second division Dynamo Dresden. Yelldell was laid detriment defeat. "A few days after the game I was told that now Fabian Giefer gets his chance." Yelldell made after four years nine months and 15 days a competitive match for the first team. Only on the last day of the 2015/2016 season allowed him to coach Roger Schmidt the Bundesliga debut. In the home match against FC Ingolstadt Yelldell came on in the 47th minute. "That was a nice farewell," he says. His contract runs until 2018. It is possible that Yelldell, the father of a nearly two-year-old son is, to end his career after. For the future he could imagine a career as a goalkeeper coach: "But in football can be planned a bit difficult." His motley career is the best proof.
If anyone cares, he seems to have "Hüftproblemen" which is "hip problems." http://www.kicker.de/news/fussball/...05-ii-4387_sg-sonnenhof-grossaspach-5836.html

The past couple of posts have me considering whether I could substitute hüft for hip, as in 'I'm hip' or (more simply) 'hip.' Might have to give it a try. Certainly Germany must have a Hüftster subculture. I like the possibilities ...
