My grandpa was in an internment camp.

>>77328332
My grandfather stabbed a Nazi officer to death with his own shortsword... probably did some other shit too, but I have the sword, complete with tarnish where the blood was left to dry on the blade.

Unfortunately for me, the swords were mass produced, and well made, so a lot of them survived. The tarnished blade only detracts from the price. It's worth maybe $100 to a particularly generous collector.

>>77328332
All of them died so Idk

My grandpa made boats.
Not warships.
Just fishing and rowboats. Took care of his family and started his business.

>>77328332
Not really a relative but an old SS officer that had come with the boats from Estonia lived next door to my dad. He was apparantly a very strange guy that didn't like to talk about the war except a few times when he was drinking with dad. Then he told stories like how he liked when at least one of the recruits was clumsy so he would get shot early in a firefight. He said that fresh soldiers didn't understand battle untill they saw one of their own get killed.

I saw his medals but he never talked about it he was convinced that the world was going to end after people walked on the moon and had boxes of Crown Royal stashed away

My grandfather killed an SS officer and took his cap and rings as a souvenir.

Good old bastard carved stone for the Nazi dream city Welthauptstadt Germania that Adolf was replacing Berlin with.
Thousands of tons of stone was produced, carved and made ready for shipping. They even got payed. Then the war ended. All that stone just stood there. Solution? Sell it all again to other countries! Double pay.

grandad on taiwanese side was a light machine gunner

I didn't even know that they had concentration camps in Canada. And I didn't know they had Japanese in Canada, either. Point is, I don't know much about Canada.

I had an ancestor who fought with the Army of Tennessee (Confederacy) during the Civil War. He killed a couple of federal soldiers and came out of the war completely unscathed too.

>>77331313
We threw japs in camps, but nobody really cares because the natives got it worse and we pat ourselves on the back for taking your nigger slaves in the underground railroad and shipping them all into a containment zone in Nova Scotia

My grand grandfather was a scum who was addicted gambling and alcohol. For that reason, he had a lots of japanese friends and he was exempt from draft.

Slap a Jap…. So that’s what the enemy is to you, huh? A fuckin’ buck-toothed cartoon dreamed up by some asshole on Madison Avenue to sell soap? Well let me tell you something: the Jap I know, the Japanese soldier, he has been at war since you were in FUCKIN’ DIAPERS! He’s a combat veteran, an expert with his weapon. He can live off of maggoty rice and muddy water and endure misery you couldn’t dream up in your worst nightmare! The Japanese soldier doesn’t care if he gets hurt or killed, as long as he kills you. Now you can call them whatever you want but never, ever, fail to respect their desire to put you and your buddies into an early grave, IS THAT CLEAR?!

You are an actual retarded. Your wiki page even proves what I'm saying.
>Black Nova Scotians are Black Canadians whose ancestors fled the Colonial United States as slaves or freemen, and later settled in Nova Scotia, Canada during the 18th and early 19th centuries.

I never said they mostly came from the underground railroad, but it turns out most of them actually are descended from ex american slaves according to your wiki page. I said blacks were fleeing the American civil war and slavery and we sent them to Nova Scotia where they congregated near Halifax harbour. We pat ourselves on the back for this like it was a good thing.

>>77333714
Also the official Nova Scotia websight is far more detailed and credible than a wikipedia page you mong

>On 16 April 1945, Cpl Bush, as squad leader for 1st Battalion, 4th Marines, 6th Marine Division, led his men in a charge against an enemy stronghold during the final assault against Mount Yaetake in northern Okinawa. During that action, he ignored his own wounds until ordered to seek treatment. While in the makeshift medical camp, Cpl Bush threw himself on an enemy grenade that had been hurled among the medical staff and other wounded Marines. Bush survived his severe wounds, losing several fingers and the sight in one eye.

>On 4 October 1945, President Harry S. Truman, in a White House ceremony, presented Cpl Bush with the Medal of Honor for "conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty." He also was awarded the Purple Heart for wounds received on Okinawa.

>Estimates vary widely, but at least 30,000 slaves, and potentially more than 100,000, escaped to Canada via the Underground Railroad.[6] The largest group settled in Upper Canada (Ontario), called Canada West from 1841.[39] Numerous Black Canadian communities developed in Southern Ontario. These were generally in the triangular region bounded by Niagara Falls, Toronto, and Windsor. Several rural villages made up mostly of ex-slaves were established in Kent and Essex counties.
>The earliest colonial settlement of Africville began with the relocation of Black Loyalists, slaves from the Thirteen Colonies who escaped from rebel masters and were freed by the British in the course of the American Revolutionary War. The Crown transported them and other Loyalists to Nova Scotia, promising land and supplies for their service. The Crown also promised land and equal rights to War of 1812 Refugees.

Dont have many stories but one very unfortunate even happened to my paternal grandfathers uncle.
>last day of the Winter War
>around 9am he got shot badly
>around 10am he got meical attention, medics trying to save him
>between 10-11am he died
>around 11am truce was called and Winter War ended
Couple of hours, couple of measly hours.

Before the war he was police officer. He was over 2 meters tall and weighed around 130kgs or so so compare to average man back then (20-30s) he was enormous.
Story goes he was just asked to become a police officer after some local police officers saw him at trainyard he worked in: there was some fallen flat-bed cart and some of his workmates were trying to lift it back up on rails.
They could not do it but supposedly my grandfathers uncle pushed them on side and lifted the thing back on tracks on his own. Police officers were at awe and simply told that would you mind becoming police officer. There is other bit more humorous story of him:
>saturday night, people drunk having the usual saturday night
>he decided to take one known very drunk drunkard for a night in drunk tank to sleep his head clear
>came in Sunday morning, uncle goes wake up the drunkard and decides to give him a lesson
>"come on now, we are going fishing"
>man, dazed and confused gets up and they get going
>arrive at big river flowing through the city
>both jump on boat, tells him to row the boat forward
>middle of the river, uncle tells him to start rowing upstream and keep the boat steady while uncle starts to fish
>drunkard rows and rows gathering all his strength to keep boat steady at upstream with 130kg giant on it
>enough time has passed, they get back on the land
>uncle tells him, "let this be the last time I see you drunk on public"

>>77328332
my grandfathers dad fought in the winter war

How fucking old were your parents when they had you, holy shit, no wonder you guys are all autistic

One grandfather fought through the whole war.
Once he and his comrades killed some horse because they were starving, for that they were all sent to Shtrafbat since horse was a property of Soviet Union. To leave Shtrafbat you either must be killed or be wounded and wash your sins with your blood.
He fought over there for some time until he was wounded. He then was recovered and was putted in the normal batallion. fought again, was wounded once more, recovered and proceeded to fight. I don't know where he was but he certanly participated in some campaign in Europe, not in Poland or Germany though.

The other grandfather fought too. I only know that he was a participant of Berlin fight.

>>77328332
Both of my grandpas were kids during the war, you have some very old grandpas, you probably are old farts yourselves

Both great grand fathers fought in winter and continuation war. Other one of these also fought in lappland war. Other was a supply/troop driver and other one an infantryman. Both also died before my age but from what i gathered both of them avoided the subject like wildfire. Apart from the other telling about a time he blew up 2 tanks in 44' with panzerfausts.

Both were named Arvo.
