Yea, my grandpa kinda encouraged cannibalism.
Fucked up things your relatives did in war thread?
My uncle claimed he cut off the ears of dead soldiers in Vietnam at times, but I never believed him because he probably was full of shit.
>>22781240
what, he never showed you the necklace?
My grandpa died in Auschwitz so...
My grandma told me he fell off his guard tower.
>>22781176
>picked shrimp off dead bodies

Thats what is known as the food chain
As for my grandpops he never talked about what he did or saw during the battle of bulge. but he had that look about him. That, hand in a pile of goo/only the dead have seen the end of war, kinda look
>>22781292
I BET he had his hands full of goo in the battle of the bulge.

My great uncle Brew was an officer in WW2. Apparently he executed a couple jews. He died in Berlin when he got shot with a certain piece of bolt action slavshit.
>>22781240
I can confirm this to be true, my uncle is the only other Infantryman in my family and he was in Vietnam, he has pictures with his ear necklaces.
Bundy's son-in-law, also a Vietnam vet, has told us similar stories about having an ear necklace, and his wife confirmed that. He also had a buddy who cut off a gook titty, cured and dried it, and made a coin pouch out of it.

Guess my grandfather was the kind that never told any stories. All is known is he was a M1919 machine gunner in Korea and mowed down many Chinese. other two things he said soldiers would put their helmets on sticks and poke them out of fox holes for entertainment and to never use tanks for cover.
Uncle stuffed Ace of Spades in the mouths of dead vietcong
My great great grandfather kept his mauser from WW1. Apparently he hid it in the beams of a farm house until his fucking son gave it to an officer in the 1940
My great grandfather died on Iwo Jima
On the defending side. Didn't know much about him, I'm half white and I don't know much about my Jap family besides what my mother used. Apparently they're all a bunch of smarmy cunts, so is rather not meet them anyways.
My grandfather flew in the TBF torpedo bombers as the rear gunner back in WWII.
i guess the most fucked up thing he ever did was cut apart bodies on saipan where the japs had leapt to their death rather than being captured in hopes of finding gold teeth or a side arm, but he said the marines had all got their first. he did try to bring a skull home, but they made him dump it over the side when they got back to american waters.
>>22781315

>honorably discharged, meets grandma
Thats about all I know of his career. He apparently was a crack shot before he went to tonk school.
He never spoke of what other things happened to him. My mom, my grandma, no one knew what he saw or did. He smelled like 40 packs of cigarettes and had this scruffy stubble that felt like being sanded to death with sandpaper and steel wool........I miss it......I miss him..........;_;
My grandpa was a gunner on a quad Oerlikon turret on a 5th Fleet Destroyer Escort. He told me last week that when his and three other DEs were sweeping for mines ahead of a column around Pelileu, a rogue sea mine broke off its chain and surfaced admidships, and rather than risk more men on the big cruisers and carriers behind them, the skipper of the nearest DE to swing itself around and take the mine on its stern. Blew part of it off, ruined the screws and shafts, and the column had to swerve to miss hitting it. I'm not sure if they salvaged it or how, but thats a pretty goddamned ballsy thing to do.
Grandpa said the captain would have felt disgraced to let that mine past.
That absolute balls of these men were gargantuan.
>>22781473
I bet he saw many a purple heart
>>22781357
I don't know how you miss a tank in world war one
>>22781176
My shop teacher occupied japan after the war. He found a truck full of food on the side of the road and couldn't get anyone to take it so he traded it to the locals for a brewery. He then reactivated the brewery powered by GI's will to drink. They got hammered playing poker with "funny money" he only later found out they were gambling with what would turn out to be tens of thousands of US dollars worth of jap currency .
My grandfather's engineer squad on Iwo Jima found themselves sitting over an air tunnel for a Japanese hospital in a cave one night.
They found the entrance and blew it up with demolition charges then went back to the air vent and took turns dropping white phosphorous grenades down the shaft onto the trapped doctors and wounded.
They gave him the Bronze Star for selflessly leading his squad in destruction of an "enemy outpost".
I don't know much of the details but I do know one of my great uncles was a resistance leader in Montenegro during WW2. He wasn't to fond of the king and he hated the commies so his handlers had him and his group get stuck with mostly what were essentially suicide missions for sabotage.
One story that comes to mind for him was:
>Italians trying to shell inland troop positions from ships just off the coast.
>Being Italians they can't hit shit and end up blowing up part of my families church.
>They send an Italian foot patrol through our land the next day to survey the damage and check for enemy casualties.
>Remember what that sniper did in FMJ?
>Uncle does that and picks of Italians one by one.
>Takes the bodies into the center of the village at night and dumped them in the center.
>>22781427
Goddamn that must be awkward. My grandfather is still pretty biased, but he acknowledges that its just thats how he was raised, and doesnt actually hold any animosity.
Ive seen old soldiers on opposing sides meet up for beers and stories and hugs and it warms my heart. But some just can't let it all go.
>>22781357
Jesus christ. Not too sporting, but with those kinds of kill ratios, I'm not too surprised.
>>22781473
fuck man, I miss my grandfathers scruffy fuckin hugs too......
he was inna 11th ACR in nam, only story he ever told was inadvertently when I told him my armor unit still used 113's.
apparently he was in the back of one when the gunner/tc got schwhacked and had to man the gun.
>>22781596
I can imagine seeing people you care about die by their weapon having a strong pull in that result.
Grandpa dropped bombs from B25 Mitchell's over Korea in the early days, then got rotated back to Arizona to train new guys on the sight
Two great uncles were in the 82 during WWII. Different companies and different sides of the family, never met until after. One jumped with the BAR, said it broke his jaw the first time when the chute opened. Both made all combat jumps with the 505th

My great great uncle was supposedly a dedicated nazi in Sweden.
Some say he would offer safe heaven for Norwegian and Danish partisans at his home.
When they got there he would use a secret radio to contact German gestapo in deep cover in Sweden. Then they'd come in the night to take the partisans away. No one knows what happened to them, they were probably tortured and killed.
Great great uncle supposedly did this to over 50 men.
But there is no proof of it at all, and the only one that claimed it happened was his widow, and she was genuinely insane.

He's now a retired ruthless businessman.
My great uncle firebombed Dresden. He travelled all throughout europe post war, but refused to go to Germany.
Why can't our current servicemen be as like these old guys? Killed the enemy, came home, lived their lives and didn't talk about shit until their alcoholism destroyed their livers until they died
Now it's all this pussy feelings because I saw my buddy get killed or a mortar got shot in the same province or some other bullshit. You don't think my these guys in WWII saw their buddy's get killed, or a bomber crash and lose everyone, or that guy who had to belly land with the ball turret gunner still inside. Fucking faggots
>>22781492
And that is how you defuse ordnance in god mode.
Grandad was a Ranger in Normandy. His unit was nearby when the Malmedy massacre was discovered.
Two weeks later he was ordered to take a group of guys and escort 120 or so German prisoners to the rear, then bring back a truck of supplies. He took six guys with automatic weapons. Three days later he shows back up at his unit with the truck of supplies. Somewhere along the line in the swamps around Utah Beach they "lost" all the prisoners and most of the ammunition for their guns.
>>22781762
All that really matters is that you're a bigger faggot than any of them.
>>22781176
>In some cases, flesh was cut from living people. An Indian POW, Lance Naik Hatam Ali (later a citizen of Pakistan), testified that in New Guinea: "the Japanese started selecting prisoners and every day one prisoner was taken out and killed and eaten by the soldiers. I personally saw this happen and about 100 prisoners were eaten at this place by the Japanese. The remainder of us were taken to another spot 50 miles (80 kilometres) away where 10 prisoners died of sickness. At this place, the Japanese again started selecting prisoners to eat. Those selected were taken to a hut where their flesh was cut from their bodies while they were alive and they were thrown into a ditch where they later died."[92]

My grandfather volunteered for the British army in WWII, escaped I assume at Dunkirk, eventually discharged for running moonshine. Joined Canadian army and fought in africa, left after he was drafted into the American army, went back to africa and fought up to Italy. Dad said his dad never talked about what he did after that.
I only have two great uncles from wwII
uncle one drove jeeps for high ranking officers and supposedly was driving with a jeep group that included Patton on the beach of Normandy not long after the invasion. Still tons of rotting corpses and blood splotches to witness, but he never saw real action.
Uncle 2
Very little is known about him because the war fucked him up pretty hard. He was late to the war and had to march across most of France to get to the front lines. Our family suspects he killed at least a few Nazis based off of his war medals. After the war was over he arrived in his hometown in Deleware and was upset that German POWs were working the farms there and being treated well by locals. His wife wanted to go to Paris later in life, but he vehemently stated he saw enough of France to last a life time.
Had an uncle who lost an eye at the bulge. Never spoke of it. Wonderful, jovial man though. Used to pop out his glass eye to scare kids at family reunions. He's been gone for about 6 years now.

Only fucked up thing that happened to my grandfather during the war. His flight crew made it through their tour with no injuries, not bad considering his unit suffered some of the higest losses.

>Fucked up things your relatives did in war thread?
Not really fucked up. A somewhat distant relative of mine boiled the skin off a jap skull and sent it back home. At least that was fucked up enough for family to send it back to japan for burial.
Some anon was telling a story about how his grandpa was part of a WW2 American Bomber crew, and purposefully shot down Tusagee Airmen that were under him because they wouldn't get out of the way of his fucking targets.
>>22781988

My grandfather was a guard at Majdanek camp in Poland. He helped demolish it when commies were at their doorstep and ran. He was later "liberated" by the commies yet again, my grandmother was raped and nearly killed, and both of them managed to escape to British controlled territory after the war, and later both moved to America where they started a family.
They were the only survivors of the war on that side of my family. Ironic that their daughter would marry an American GI when she grew up, and THEIR kid would marry another GI. As for the rest of my family? Either died in war, captured by Russians then died, or died whilst liberated by Russians. Naturally, I have a slight animosity towards them because of what they had done to my family. Raped and killed several great aunts and their children, starved or shot the rest of them.

Quite frankly most Germans didn't even know what really went on in the camps and when the Russians first encountered death camps in Poland and told the US, the Americans through the commies were just making it up.

My grandfather, a Vietnam paratrooper, saw my tomahawk as a kid and told me about how it looked an awful lot like the viet-era tomahawks some of them had.
I later overheard from my grandpa talking to my dad (grandpa is on moms side of the family) that a half-joking brigade commander said that he would give a three day leave to the guy who gave him the head of a gook. On of my grandpas squadmates took his tomahawk to the neck of a VC he had killed, and stuck it on a sharp stick outside the guys tent like a warlord.
The guy got the three day leave.

The blitz was very mild as far as bombing raids went. The Germans didn't even intentionally bomb cities at first, they only started after they did it accidentally and saw how effective it was at panicking the bongs.

Cool, you're still wrong
Grandpa joined the Navy during WW1, became (at the time) the youngest chief petty officer ever, then fought in the Pacific theater of WW2. He had three nigga, *three* goddamn ships shot out from under him, one of which he was one of a few dozen survivors. At one of the islands they were stationed at he strangled a japanese infiltrator that had killed three of his buddies in their sleep at their camp. Not surprisingly he was sent stateside due to severe PTSD.

Fuck reasonable force in this scenario, you put your own people on the line by starting shit. It's as if you dropped the bombs on them yourself. This goes for Germany in WWII and modern insurgency too, eventhough nowadays insurgents sacrifice people that aren't their own anyway.

My grandpa was with the Canadian infantry in Holland and Germany. He died when I was eleven, but I did hear a few stories from him and what he told my Dad. Fighting tanks without any anti-tank weapons by using a rock to knock the treads off and then kill/capture the crew. His regiment's purpose was to defend the flank of the main advancing force so when there German artillery it was up to them to find and destroy it. He spent a year or two in post war Germany searching for Nazi sympathizers, and holdouts who refused to surrender.
He didn't go into to much detail, but the only time I saw him show emotion was that he was pissed that they wouldn't let him bring back a gambler pistol just like pic related that he bought from a Dutch pawn shop.

Hamas are cowards that deliberately hide amongst civilians.
But bombing strictly civilian targets such as Dresden is still a war crime.
You may be pissed at the German military, but killing thousands of people unrelated to the German military isn't exactly a solid retaliatory action. The Germans were afraid that Dresden was going to get bombed so they considered placing a bunch of allied POWs in the city, hoping to dissuade bombing raids. But they realized it would be cowardly and a war crime, so they never went through with it.

I also think its more the racism that the US had in the 40's verse the 60's and 70's. Also after witnessing Pearl Harbor, and the propaganda the US government churned out on a HOURLY basis, the people of america completely feared that the war was for their very lives. My mom described what her mom told her as my grandma grew up during world war 2, and said it was brutal what the average citizen believed.
>TLDR
The public of world war 2 truly believed that it was a war for their very lives, while Vietnam was just murica being murica.

America killed tens of thousands of civilians (at least) in north Vietnam and Cambodia in the late 60s and early 70s. Would either of those countries have been justified if they could have retaliated to kill 100s of thousands or millions of American civilians?

They were welcome to try. And can you get me some source on that? What ops are you talking about exactly? Are you taking in account the VC-Civillian grey area?
My grandfather volunteered for the Greek Expeditionary Force in Korea. Didn't talk about it much except saying it was his biggest regret in life, but a few years ago he told me that he killed children. He didn't specify the circumstances or how many children. Just literally said "I killed children".
>>22782856

Agreed. The Nazi's perfected civilian bombing on England and other countries. Dresden was their just deserts. Nazi tears taste so sweat.
>>22782966
5" is enough for me, he's one of the few black guys I'd go for
My great grandfather went to fight as a mercenary in South America during ww2. Got shot in the stomach, pretended to be a brit because the locals didn't much like americans. Ended up getting bandaged up and put on a ship to England, where he worked until he had enough money to get a ride home. Not sure what happened to his brother that went with him. My dad witnessed what was technically a black op (sf guys he was stationed in Africa with got sick of hearing locals being cut up with machetes at night), so the got some suppressed smgs and handed their berets and dog tags off to some grunts. No kne got cut up after that night.
>>22782990
And they only had to make that trade because the Germans forced them to, every single casualty is on German hands.
>>22782977
I never claimed the Nazis were innocent, I don't sympathize with their ideology. The holocaust was terrible, I don't deny that. But it's difficult to use the holocaust as an excuse for allied war crimes when they didn't even know about the extent of the holocaust at the time. It should also be noted that WWII in Europe was about control of Europe, not about the safety of the jews, the allies didn't give a fuck about the jews. Before the war even started the Germans asked other countries, including the UK and USA to take the jews, but they refused. Even then Jewish refugees escaped Nazi-occupied territories into allied lands they were often forced to go back, as with the MS St. Louis incident.

Well he only tried to steal that gas because the evil imperialist amerikans had broken into his house to look for jihadists and knocked over his jerry can. Now poor Hamid had no fuel for his motorcycle, how was he going to get his opium to the market now? Without those opium profits he could never buy food for his family. There was only one way, he had to steal gasoline. But Hamid was a godly moral man, he could not steal from an honest muslim. But that's when he realized, there were people around the area with gasoline that weren't honest muslims...
>>22782533
>The Germans didn't even intentionally bomb cities at first, they only started after they did it accidentally and saw how effective it was at panicking the bongs.
What happened was a German flight of bombers couldn't find the airfield they were supposed to bomb at night so they dropped their load where they were and flew home. The bombs landed on London.
Then the British retaliated with a large bombing attack on a German city.
Then Hitler proclaimed total war against the British.

Right I'm sure that's how it happened. Seems perfectly plausible to me.

Im not saying it was any less brutal, but yes, generally people of the 40's were more racist than people of the 60's and 70's. You must have decided to just skip the fact that the civil rights movement happened, you autist.

Jesus christ my grandad was there in dachau as well. Apparently they must have been pretty fucking bad because after my grandad died my grandma burned them all. Makes me kinda sad since they were a ton of pictures he personally took that have never been seen by anyone but him basically.
>>22783323
Went there when I was in high school. Eerie as all hell. I can't even imagine what it must have been like to kick the gates in.
>>22783250
Yes, they invaded through Belgium, because the Belgians would never let them pass through peacefully. If the Belgians had pulled the "so neutral I don't give a fuck if you're here or not" card like Sweden did no one in Belgium would have gotten hurt.
Yes, Britain bombed Germany too. Germany started bombing airfields and industrial facilities. The Brits went straight for wherever they were likely to kill the most Germans.
Are you saying that the Brits never sank commercial shipping? Even to or from neutral countries? Because that's how my great grandfather died.
He was a merchant marine.
Yes, war is ugly typically both sides do immoral things, and innocent people get hurt.
>>22783250
It's called proportion. If North Vietnam got its hands on a large nuclear arsenal and managed to kill 10% of the U.S. population in retaliation to operation rolling thunder, I don't think the world would brush it off as simply being a more effective fighting force.

>Right I'm sure that's how it happened. Seems perfectly plausible to me.
That's actually what happened.
Hitler and Goering specifically gave orders on what the allowed targets in Britain were. Those were war industries and military airfields.
Hitler only ordered war on British civilian targets after the RAF bombed civilian targets in and around Berlin.

Well one thing is an innocent albeit extremely obnoxious fetish, the other is you thinking you're a fucking girl
>>22783082
I have my doubts
My grandfather was in the Independent Norwegian Brigade Group in Germany (basically peace keepers in Berlin). He told me about some british and dutch soldiers that got into a fight and it escalated to some extreme lengths. The dutch guys dropped some sort of grenade into the british tankers tank one day, and the guy inside were mad as fuck because the bang pretty much blew out their hearing. Then one night they ran over the dutch guys tent with their tank, while they were asleep in there.
My grandfather told me that these were veterans from the war and some of those veterans were completely mental. He was too young to fight during the war, so he was not a veteran.
>>22784064

Things like being part of the squads who would go and clear bridges of Japanese suicide soldiers who would hide under the bridges with bombs.
