Fancy booze is a great way to bribe "Officials" The common soldier is happy with bottom shelf booze. A large quantity of cheap whiskey, vodka, gin, etc... will keep most soldiers out of your business. As with anything of value, don't keep everything in one place. When I was a soldier in Germany, A fifth of "Jack" would get you a very good weekend with the German Girls in town. Cigarettes were also a good item for exchange. For 2 packs of American smokes I could a carton of German smokes. It all depends on the barter economy of the area you are in.
