What did your grandparents do in WW2? My great grandad got sniped, he was an officer op in the Russian army. My grandad was in the 15th division of the Latvian Legion formed by the Waffen SS. He went throughout the whole war since the Latvian legions were formed, fighting in Russia and going back to the Courtland Kettle, he got shot in the back and had a grenade blow up in front of him. Got sent to Syberia, barely made it out of it, lived with a shrapnel from the grenade with in his lung and died in 1992 from prostate cancer. Both grandads were Latvians btw, share your grandads events.

One was an engineer, and served with the RAF in the far east, in (then) Brunei.

The other was a coal miner, and so was far too economically important to be anywhere near bombs and bullets. Spent the war literally underground.

Both survived the war Having a useful trade seems to be a good way to avoid a violent death.

Grandpa1 fought on the russian front, he was with the artillery forces. He was a prisoner of war for 4 years after the war ended. He is still alive today. Told me quite a few stories. He did not like hitler, but he had no choice. He killed 4 russian soldiers with his Sturmgewehr and he has no idea how many via artillery fire. He hates it.

Grandpa2 was a real nazi. I remember my mom fighting with my grandparents because they would not accept my dad because he was more left wing.
Grandpa2 went to a Napola school and was a nazi until he died. He was damn proud of germany and hitler. He never got to see any war action though, he was stationed somewhere in southern europe, I don't know exactly and can't ask because he died from cancer a good 10 years ago.

Grandfather (Dad's side) smuggled wine, cheese and cigarettes across the French-Belgian border to French resistance fighters.
Got shot in the leg during a night-run, but recovered pretty quickly.

Grandma (again, Dad's side) stayed in the "bunkers" in Kortrijk, Flanders as the bombs started falling.
Her dad told her to close her eyes on the way there in the car, and that she could hear and feel the bodies underneath the weels.

Don't know about mom's side though.

He was a member of the Wehrmacht. Got shot in the leg in Norway and send home.

My great-grand parent was Alsatian, from a little town near Straßburg. He was nearly 18 when the German annexation and he was dratfed into the Wehrmacht. He was sent to the Eastern front and wounded twice. In the last months of the war he deserted, he stole some Croat's papers and cossed into Italy. Then he was interned in a camp (the war was over by then) but met a friendly priest who arranged him to be sent to Argentina. His true identity was kept a secret for many years, even his wife called him Mirko, theCroat's name.

Was part of a company that shot a german airplane out of the sky and he was the leader of a squad sent to retrieve the pilot, which he did. After the Netherlands capitulated he went back to his village and married my grand mother. the worst part of the war was that no one was to be trusted and everything was rationed.

Great Grandfather drove a higgins on DDay. He was part of the second wave of boats. He said it sounded like the 4th of July from hell. He said it looked like the opening scene from Saving Private Ryan, but "you can't hear jack shit from all the gunfire "
He's 92 and still kicking
>>
My great grandfather was posted in France but after D-Day. Before that he was an officer and military policeman who had to get people into air raid shelters in London. He got a few medals but not a VC sadly. The main injuries he had were shrapnel injuries and he went partially blind after the war.

My great grandfather was a sharp shooter for the English. Born in Ireland and when the Irish refused to engage he took off to England to fight for them.

Had a collection of 13 Russian medals he had stripped from bodies he was able to gain access to (as most were unrecoverable) in his basement on a plaque until the day he died. My great grandmother thought it was barbaric and hated them, so they were donated as soon as he passed.

He survived the entire show without any real injury and then died in a car accident years later after moving to Canada.

>>716276362
My grandfather was a fighter pilot. He flew over 150 missions without being shot down. Dropped a lot of bombs and did a lot of work. I don't have much more to tell than that because he never wanted to talk about it or think about it. It wasn't something he wanted to pass onto our generation, I think he viewed it as serving his duty but his duty was also to protect our innocence in the future so we didn't have to live the horrors they did.
>>
Grandfather was a staff Sergeant, mostly involved with maintaining supply lines. Got to sit back from the dangerous stuff, although at one point the base in the Philippines he was at did get hit by Japanese bombers.

My great grandfather participated in the Dersim massacre, killing bunch of Kurds who started to revolt because of their sheikh thought he was invincible when the soldiers shot rubber bullets as they were protesting in favor of caliphate and shariah. They cut off the head of the officer who ordered his soldiers to shoot rubber bullets to them to disperse them. Ataturk got mad and ordered to eradicate the whole city. His adopted daughter, Sabiha Gökçek herself participated the massacre ( she was a fighter plot ) and bomb the whole fucking city. It was in 1938 but Hitler must really liked it, he ordered Thorak to make an Ataturk bust after his death.

Wife's family has some interesting stories too. Grandfather joined the Red Army in China to escape an arranged marriage. Her great-grandfather on the other hand was a fairly high-ranking KMT military officer. He escaped to Taiwan, but his daughter got left behind in the mainland literally because she she had no sense of direction and got lost and didn't make it to the meeting point in time.

Grandfather 1 - Worked on some ship in charge of keeping the guns clean and in working order. I don't think he ever saw combat but he did spend a few months in Japan. He's 88 and still alive.

Grand Uncle - He said he did so well in basic training that he was chosen to be an instruct new recruits on how to use the guns in the B-17 and B-23. At the end of the war he was assigned to be the front gunner on a B-17, but a week before combat, the Germans surrendered. Then they flew him over to Japan for the same thing but about a few weeks later they dropped the nukes. He never saw real combat. He's 97 and still alive.

Grandfather burgled a warehouse where liquor was being stored during Prohibition and unsuccessfully tried to burn it down to cover his crime. Got caught, sent to penitentiary, and never returned home when released. After he had been missing for years, grandmother had him declared dead and collected life insurance which was used to raise my father and uncles (all of whom fought in WWII). Grandfather showed back up after the war and my grandmother took him back in. Turns out he had operated an illegal casino near a military base in California during the war and lost everything when the base closed.

Mine was a staff sergeant in the Wehrmacht and was deployed in northern France where he got some grenade shrapnel to the butt cheeks and was moved to an allied hospital and then was a pow. later the prison got overrun by Germans and he was free again, because of his wounds he didn't had to fight. After the Soviet occupation of Leipzig he was sent to a gulag where he barely survived. After all he died from lead poisoning in the GDR around the 80's, don't know the exact date now.

Grandfather was an engineer and kept behind armored vehicles repairing them and dragging out injured people. He must have seen some pretty wild shit.

His brother was some spazzo of some sort so built runways back home cos his legs weren't good for running but he could drive a bulldozer.

Grandma stayed at home and farmed. For whatever reason she had a Welby revolver stashed in a kitchen cupboard. She handed it into the police in the 80s, crazy bastard.

Really gets me pissed off when SJWs get angry and say we should be sad and apologetic of what we did in the war. Say what you want but their generation gave up their lives so we could better ourselves, and look at us now...

both grandpas are already dead, and I never asked what they did during or after the civil war, let alone ww2.
my best guess is they were to young to paricipate in the civil war, or care about either side; so once ww2 rolled in they would have neither the experience nor the drive to volunteer for the blue division, and neither were catalonian, so I doubt they'd end up with the french

My father was a radio operator, inserted via submarine on to Leyte right after MacArthur withdrew. He spent the war relaying radio traffic from the middle of jungles, living off the land, running from the Japanese.

When he boarded the sub, he and the other volunteers were called to formation and a full-bird colonel shook each of their hands and thanked them for giving their lives for their country.

My dad almost did just that. When he was finally exfiltrated, he was 6' tall and weighed 112 pounds.

After a little time in Australia to regain strength and put some weight back on, they shipped him right back out to fight on the same fucking island.

Then the bomb and he wound up in Tokyo, assigned to assist an Army photographer. Their assignment was to take pictures of ace pilots in or around their planes. Really, they were just killing time until everybody got shipped home.

On many occasions, those superstar pilots spent their nights boozing it up and fucking locals and didn't show up for the photo shoots. To this day, there are multiple textbooks and coffee table books with pictures of famous pilots sitting in their cockpits but the actual person shown is my dad. He'd climb in the planes, the photographer would take a wide shot, and no one has ever really cared that it wasn't the actual pilot.

Then he shipped off home.

My great grandmother was 10 when the Germans occupied Poland. Some German soldiers lived in her home for 1 month and she and her family were forced to live in the basement and survive off of potato skins and other scraps. Once when she was cooking for the Germans she said something to one of them and he threw the boiling water on her arm. She died in 2013 of diabetes. She only spoke polish and I don't so my mother had to translate many things for me.

My grandfather was a waist gunner in a b17 bomber. His plane was hit by AA fire and whilst he was getting his parachute on the plane broke in half. He fell out of the plane and was knocked out on a bulkhead on his way out after only having gotten one strap onto his parachute. By some miracle his parachute opened and he floated across the english channel into allied territory where a 12 year old girl found him unconscious in a field.

Hey y'all my grandaddy survived 4 years fightin' in Germany and killed 400 Germans with his bare hands even strangled one with the stars and stripes flag he always carried with him, before being captured and forced to walk through mine fields to burma. He escaped there by eating through the barbed wire, then survived 6 years in the jungles of south east Asia, killing japs everywhere with THEIR OWN FUCKING KATANAS after a chink wop showed him how to do karate and kung fu and shit and then after he had killed half the fucking evil jap army that was trying to TAKE OUR FREEDOM then Eisenhower phoned him after he broke into the jap HQ ON OKINAWA and told him they had a secret mission. He stole a fucking kamikaze plane with only enough fuel to last for 100 miles and flew the whole fucking way 3000 miles back by riding the air currents after watching vultures in the fucking DESERT, before crash landing in the Whitehouse swimming pool and meeting with Dwight who gave him the mission which was to BOMB the fucking jap military stronghold of Hiroshima which he flew solo. He had also worked on the nuke project but can't talk about that because it is fucking SECRET. it is about 50% his invention.
anyway his plane was fucked by the EMP blast so he jumped out the back on his fucking lucky fucking surfboard which he painted in JAP BLOOD and he rode the nuke blast by fucking SURFING until he landed in the US where a fucking nurse was in the street and he KISSED HER and someone took a fucking photo.

My Grandfather was in the 12. SS Panzerdivision. Got shelled hard by arty driving through Caen in his halftrack. Saw some pretty awesome stuff, like Panzermeyer getting captured. At the end he travelled though half of europe and surrendered to the americans with the remains of the 12. SS.

They had the to run from the russians to get in american pow. Legend says that a russian officer blocked a bridge in his car to stop them from crossing a river to get to the americans. Some guy crushed the russian in his tank, the rest of the remaing guys then rushed over the bridge while the remaining russians rushed the tank and executed the crew on the spot. Another legend says, they didnt surrender all of their weapons but stayed under full arms for 2 days in capture because there were talks they would go stomp the russians together with the americans.
That old man is still alive, his legends will never die.

I dont know what the other grandad did, he is long dead, something with fighting partisans in jugoslavia. So he was probably just executing civillians all day erryday.

Paternal Granddad worked at the Vickers factory in Weybridge, fitting Leigh Lights onto Wellington bombers. He was made head of his department age 16 because all the senior members were killed in an air raid and he was the best that survived. He was too young to serve until min '45, but he wouldn't have been called up anyway because essential war work and all that.

Maternal Granddad was like 6. He didn't do much.

Interesting side note, my Stepdad's granddad was recruited in 1918. He was selected at the last minute to train as an artillery observer (can't remember the official term) who's job it would be to crawl into No-Man's-Land with a telephone and send fire reports back. Life expectancy for them was 2 weeks. He finished his training, wrote his will, prepared to die and then the war finished literally the day before he was due to ship out to France.

My great grandfather was SS. It's a shame he didn't make it to your grand dad's house.
