Well...the serial killer has this 2.5 year period where he was assigned to a medical unit in the Pfalz region of West Germany....starting around the summer of 1979.
His first murder? Summer of 1978....in the US.
Assignment? Baumholder area.
Forbidden re-enlistment? Well....the story goes to what is generally confidential reports that he had serious alcohol and male-rape issues while in the Army. No one cites the disciplinary actions....so you can't be sure of much of anything.
Two former Army members (males) have spoken to being raped by Dahmer in this period. German police have looked at five potential murders in this period, but never been able to connect Dahmer to them.
One odd aspect....the final two or three months of his stay in Germany....he was restricted to the barracks and could not go anywhere unless he was escorted. Basically, he was out of control and boozed-up....if not under control.
Suggestion that he may have murdered while in West Germany? This speculation goes around and has zero facts attached to it.
He exits West Germany in March of 1981.

You got the story wrong, he was really an Airmen stationed at Ramstien AFB. …Ha
We had a nut or two on Ramstein....a murder or two...but no one like Jeffrey. I bet if we combed Stars and Stripes from 1960 to 1990...we'd find forty suspicious murders (most never solved) across West Germany.
Late 1970s on Ramstein, some junior officer exiting the officer's club side exit late at night...got done in by some unknown guy with a baseball bat. Investigation never solved that.
