Germans and Americans gathered at the Southwest University Ballpark in El Paso, TX to celebrate German-American Night on May 21, 2019. The event, which was organized by the German Air Force Air Defense Center, was part of Wunderbar Together, a year-long initiative to celebrate German-American friendship.
