Many Americans participated in foreign exchange programs. Most of these exchanges were with European schools. One popular country was Germany. The students involved were high school students, often in their junior year. We have an image of four of these exchange students in Germany during the early 1960s. The four boys are all trying out lederhosen as part of their German cultural experience. Other Americans who wore lederhosen were the children of American military families statoned in Germany. Unlike the exchange students who lived with German families, however, most of the military families lived on bases and had more limited exposure to Germany and German culyture.
