Do you have family that fought in WW1/WW2

[Namefag McNutt]

My great grandfather was a military chaplain and medic in WW1.
One of my great uncles was part of a panzer division in WW2.

 

[Jakomir]

No, they're all dead.

 

[Jimb0]

I know of my great grandparents who fought in WW2 for the U.S.S.R, all died there during different time periods

 

[Spasoje's Revenge]

Great great grandfather was a communications operator in ww1, his commander had to push his ass at gunpoint towards the front, until a close encounter with an artillery shell made both of them turn tail

 

[istanbul]

No, they were all unbothered

 

[Stephen]

My grandfather served in the Mexican Army protecting president Diaz Ordaz
If he were American at the time he couldve gone to Vietnam

 

[Satoko_Fans_Arent_White]

maybe i should ask my grandpa if his dad fought in ww1

 

[anglo_bvll]

None that I know of. My grandfathers were too young to fight in WW2 and their parents were too young for WW1.

I had a grand-uncle (or maybe he was a "great grand-uncle") who fought as a paratrooper with the U.S military in France during the invasion on the western coast. Apparently he'd seen horrible things during the fighting (very, very heavy paratrooper casualties), so we never did ask him about it. He's dead, now.

My great-great-grandfather was an Austro-Hungarian pow captured by Russians in WW1, my great-grandfather fought for USSR in WW2 and even met Americans somewhere in Austria

Do you know what he specifically did during the war, occupation-wise?

 

[Steve]

My grandpa fought in Vietnam in the Marines, he never really spoke about it back when he was still alive though, even asking me dad he says he never really talked about it at all. Not more than the fact he was a radioman at least.

I'm not sure exactly, he might have been an officer or have some secondary role. He was a high-ranking police official and I was told he got in because of that

was he a croat or a bosnian

My great grandpa was 16 when the Soviet army took him in. My dad explained that he doesn't remember much except the moment he was URAAAAA charging a trench, a German popped out, and my grandpa's gun malfunctioned and so did the Germans through some sheer fortune. He said the German looked much much older, and that he charged my great 'pa with a knife but was then killed by another Soviet soldier. He has nightmares about it. He died recently, and my family donated all his equipment to a local museum. He kept his uniform and guns in pristine condition. Great guy.

A little scary to think how I would do in his place, at 16 I don't think I'd be able to handle it.

 

[NigKiller_Tojo]

my great grandpa was an soldier in the IJA and I heard he was stationed somewhere in china during that time. I also heard that all of my grand uncles were drafted and never came back.

 

[Chesnaught]

Never fought, but my grandfather was part of the Merchant Marines in WWII.
