>sent to a Siberian POW camp
>eventually forced into the Soviet Army
>forced to act as canon fodder against the Nazis in one of their battles
>escapes the Soviet Army
>goes into Nazi territory
>joins the Nazi army
>gets sent to Normandy few days before D-Day
>survives D-Day
>captured by American paratroopers
If this story is true, is he not the luckiest fucker on the planet? How the hell do you survive a battle in all three fronts of the deadliest war in human history?

Why would he fake his story? It's not like he got rich off it or got to go back to Korea.

Low credibility. However, it is well documented that the Russian Siberian troops that were transferred from the Russian-Manchurian front late in 1941 shanghaied various people, mostly Mongolians, on their way to defend Moscow from the Germans. Some of these were captured and put in German uniforms and sent to Rommel in North Africa as 'reinforcements' (Rommel objected).
When the Germans evacuated Africa these Mongolians were sent to Normandy where they were captured by the Americans on D-Day.

I don't know how true that is, but I liked the movie based on it.
