Exchange Newsletter
Pictured, the first anniversary newsletter of the European Exchange System, 1949.
The EES operated Army PXs throughout Europe from 1943 until merging management responsibilities with the Army & Air Force Exchange Service in 1972 to create what is today one of the country's largest retailers.
At the time of this newsletter, the EES was based in Nurnberg, Germany, in the same building where the trials of Nazi leaders were held shortly after World War II.
At the time, EES oversaw stores in Munich, Frankfurt, Nurnberg, Berlin, Heidelberg, Austria, Bremerhaven, Stuttgart, Wiesbaden, Wetzlar, Ausburg, Wursburg, Paris and Garmisch.
The EES received financial assistance from the Army & Air Force Exchange Service, based then in New York City, but EES leaders managed their organization.
Today, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service still operates major stores throughout Germany and other European countries. The headquarters is in Sembach, Germany, where managers also oversee operations of stores in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait and elsewhere in Southwest Asia and the Middle East.
