I've only ever seen Monument Men, and that was actually entertaining, but something that tells the tale of a simple soldier in the midst of war?
A movie available in America, about a Polish soldier, made in Poland, and the guy meets new people from other countries. He fucks enemy prostitutes. In the end we see him after the war, living a happy life with his family and land, but he grows up to see his sons and grandsons fight in the next generations of wars and they come back to tell the story. How does he adapt to this world full of transgenders, feminism, racism, terrorism. The space race and Hiroshima?

If only my grandfahters would have been as brave as yours. Feels bad man.
Also question about age. Ask him he's he lucky to live to such high age? Wife lives? Friends? Family abously at least vists him. He's he actvie etc? Asking cause 96 year old gf grand fahter told me that don't quit smoking cause you'll leave as old as me and it's sucks. Hunts me.

Estonians were brave werent you? But you are a too small country. So when germans or soviets came, you couldnt have done anything

German fag here
My granfather was a SS commander and recruited children.
Has your grandfather seen children fighting in war?

>>693483315
Huhhuh, tuli paha mieli tosta. Onneksi pappa on vielä täysin terävä, nyt tosin olen hänen luonaan pakkaamassa tavaroita hoitokotiin muuttoa varten. Sen verran hataraa on kävely ja tiskaaminen yms. Ei enää onnistu

What sort of training was he given after being conscripted before he was sent off?

>>693483554
is your grandfather still alive? I'm guessing not.

>>693483323
Oh fuck off

>>693483674
Nope. Died a couple years after war

>>693473084
Did he meet any Swedish volunteers, if so what was his opinion of them?
What's his opinion on sweden now
>sweden yes

>>693481000
Nice trips

>>693483869
Interesting. Be proud of him.

You were brave but estonia was too small to stand a chance. Grandpa says he is so well because he has worked hard though his whole life. That and sports life kept him in good shape. His friends are mostly dead, but my father and I and my cousins visit him every week. Grandma died few years ago. That probably hit my grandfather harder than he shows

Presuming he fought in Stalingrad? If so, what was his experience of the fighting there? And how did he keep up moral in such an awful battle?

Dude, I've been taught back in my highschool that Soviet Union's role in winning the war was the most important (I'm not implying it, don't report me please). What was your grandpa's opinion of it and has it changed?

"Youngest soldiers were from 16 to 18. They were members of a paramilitia which is why they had to leave so young"

I'd rather die then be under soviet again. Compare our countries. We are 50 years back from you cause of our pussy grandfahters. Soviet sucked. I got a taffel pack (empty) and tupla (empty). Looked at them all the time thinking how they could have tasted with drool tripping. That era sucked.

>>693484828
I believe you. My grandfather told he was in viru hotel in 1980s and people knocked on his rooms door to buy western clothes

>>693484215
