Too young to serve in ww2, was peace keeping soldier in Berlin right when the war had ended and Berlin was in ruins.
both my grandpas served in the war against russians. one was in coastal artillery and the other in recon. that's about it really.

My grandpa fought in the Resistance during the Nazi invasion
>>52935144
not my grandfather, but my great grandfather was an officer during lithuanian - polish war, lithuanian independence war and later was in the SS
WW2 vs Nazi's. A grandfather wws in hiding I heard.
WW2 vs Japanese. My grandma was in the military police. And ended up in a Jap camp.
Post-WW2 vs Indonesia. Grandpa killed some Indonesian rebels.
Salonica front. Aged 93, seen last days of king's rule, seen Tito's rule, was a professor of geography and history and also a librarian, had 2 cancers..
Other grandpa came down from a small mountain village, never seen a light bulb before, was so impressed by electricity overall he became an electronic engineer in Yugoslavia, built 2 houses in the city from literally nothing, worked for the army, was on homefront, which one? All of them. Was also army boxer.
>tfw both of my grandfathers were certified legends and some of the best men humanity had to offer
>I am an utter disgrace and failure, cant even get a gf or study regularly
Its amazing I could sprout from such men..
>>52935544
To add. My grandfather who was in hiding got funds as a war hero for being in the resistance. But my father said he's full of shit and probably did nothing.
Only my great grandpa have fought in a war. And it was in Finland against the Soviets.
>>52935144
WW2, both of them. One was a paratrooper the other served on a submarine.
>>52935402
Flying bike squad I presume?
>>52935144
Korea. Drafted as a private and came home a sergeant. I don't know much about his time in Korea but I know it haunted him.
Stupid me once asked if he ever killed anyone. "They don't promote you for not killing people."
RIP Pops. I'm proud to have your last name.
WW2 with age 14
Fought against Nazis and Bulgarians

One was in the back end of WW2, then did Korea. The other did Malaya and Aden. Neither spoke much about it.
This might get a lot of people angry but chances are your granddad stacked boxes or stripped engines during the war, as even your typical Infantryman saw less than 24 hours of close combat. Strangely, everyone on 4chan has a knife between the teeth story of raiding and killing.
Face it, he probably spent the war shagging whores and stealing bits of guns to send home to his friends. Over the years and over the beers he's turned himself into a war hero, the sole destroyer of battalions. Instead of the reality, where he saw a dead man, he killed him. Then after a few drinks he killed his mates. Then as the years go on it turns into a whole company.
I eagerly await your greentext.
>>52935144
one grandpa trained troops during WW2, the other was in the navy in Korea. I dont think either saw combat

Which is probably the case with 99% of war stories. No one ever tells the ones about how they spent 14 weeks hitting a tank exhaust with a spanner or trying to fix a radio.
The vast, vast majority of men to have served have done nothing of any excitement. It was important, but not exciting. Unfortunately they feel the need to compensate.
>>52935248
There was no war against the Russians. It was against the Soviets. A different country and a people oppressed by dictatorship. Stop spreading russophobia.
>>52935866
>You will never fight in the war with the best soundtrack
>>52935866
my granpas never told tall tales.
when I asked my dad's father about his time in war he just told that he used his SMG to scare the soviets away but he was probably involved in some nasty stuff being in a unit that operated behind enemy lines.
My grandfather was in Korea during Korean war against north korean and soviet commies.
>>52935775
Why are you so complexed my sweet britcuck?
>>52935144
WWII. Fought against the Nazis in 1944-1945
my great grandpa got shrekt by the Germans for some trite bullshit, didn't want to pay taxes or whatever
other grandpa fought on the gommie side
Grandfather was in WW2 in New Guinea against the allies.
My grandfather served in the 1st Marine Division in Korea. He never spoke much about it, but we know he was at the Chosin Reservoir, saw more than enough combat and received three Purple Hearts during his tour.
Both of my Grandfathers were too young for WW2, but my Great Grandpa fought on the Russian front for Austro-Hungary in WW1.
Grandfather got drafted with 16 in WW2 near the end of the war and fought on the western front in Germany.
He was part of a death squad during the Bangladesh Liberation War. Then he tried to kill my dad and his brother so they ran away.
Paternal grandfather joined the Wehrmacht in 1937 and was an artillery sergeant when he was captured in Tunisia in May 1943.
Maternal grandfather was a miner and hence spared from military service.
>>52935144

>>52935402
Nice, my grandpa was in the occupation force in Denmark. Maybe they met.
>>52935144
Dads side served, but didn't go overseas as he was a mechanic, mums side fought all through the islands and PNG, saw quite a lot of combat.
Can we talk about WW1 instead, or the Crimean war.
Aside from Resistance narratives, there's nothing for me to share on WW2 ;-;
Mine narrowly escaped Hong Kong before it fell as a kid. Was drafted into the army by the end of the war but it ended before he saw any action.
He ended up serving as military police in India, where he was shot in the arse by a drunken squadmate.
My grandfather-A didn't fight, because he was just a year young to go to the Pacific war.
My grandfather-B didn't fight too, because he was an elite.
He fought on the Estonian side in WWII (nazi army)
Got busted after and deported to Siberia for 25+5 years. Managed to come back earlier, but he was there still for about 20.
Hated communism, never was in the party or anything.
Died soon after Estonia got free again.
Grand-grand father fought in Korean war. He was artillery officer. And our surname comes from that.
>>52940116
Also;grand father was just simple private at Cyrpus War,did nothing much.
My grandpa served in the people's army during the spanish civil war. He used to tell stories about fighting against franco's moor hordes with his machine gun.
>>52935144
He fought as a partisan in WW2. His father fought against the Italians on the Soča front during WW1 and he died in a military hospital.
On my father's side, WW2. After the defeat he escaped to England and ended up joining with FFF. He fought in North Africa, and later in France.
On my mother's side, possibly the Spanish Civil War. I say possibly because no one is sure. Not even my grandmother knows what he did before coming to France. He never talked about it to anybody.
>>52935144

Shot down by Brits in 40, spent 6 years in canada because they were afraid they'd conquer the UK back then.
>>52935144
My step-father's dad was a navigator on a Lancaster bomber towards the end of WWII.
He didn't really have any stories to tell, so either nothing interesting ever happened, or he saw fellow airmen die or just felt regret for bombing people.
>>52935144
My maternal grandfather was drafted during Korea, but couldn't serve because he was an only child so they put him in the National Guard.
My great great grandfather somewhere on my mother's side served in WW2, mostly in the pacific, and Korea, then He was stationed in West Germany for a while.
A great great Uncle on my father's side served in WW2 for Italy after Mussolini was ousted from power.
>>52935554

Well, they were a scouting plane.
Probably in a captured Supermarine Walrus or sth.
Saly your guys did not fall for it, also you had radar.

My granddads were born in the 40's
My paternal grandparents had it comfy.

On mum's sl*vshit side, my grandpa disarmed mines on the eastern front.
[spoiler]He died in 93 from getting hit by a train. My mom said that it might have been suicide[/spoiler]
>>52941131
No idea who was it, but it definetly was the british airforce..right?
Even if it was polish pilotes.
>>52941145
Oh I see, probably found abandoned on a French beach tbqh.
>>52941214
He had it good in Canada, he and the others got paid for their work on the fields..they buil themselves a swimming pool and a tennis court.
Could also move around rather freely.
It sucked that they took the cigarettes away from him when he left which he saved money for to help his family back on its feet with as they were worth a lot to barter with.
But hey, better than my other grandfather who was a flak assistant in Berlin in the Hitlerjugend.
>>52941172
Of course it doesn't.
What matters that the german went down.
And it couldn't really be Poles. Poles flew all the way behind the German plane to make sure he dies, not escapes.
>>52941302
I did not mean to imply they didnt do great.
Also that is a dick move, there was something like a gentelmans agreement between pilots.
None, both weren't even schoolboys by the time WW2 was over, and both sides of Germany didn't participate in wars for a very long time afterwards because of their delicate global political situation.
my mother's side great-grandpa was a partisan.
he met his future wife (who was a lot younger than him) because she was bringing him and his mates her older female friends so partisans hiding in the forest had something stick their dicks in.
my father's side grandpa was from the eastern borderlands, so when the commies came he joined them.
He was in berlin liberating german women with the First Polish Army.
Later settled in western Poland (vicinity of Wrocław)
>>52941330
>Also that is a dick move, there was something like a gentelmans agreement between pilots.
Where was that agreement when the Germans were slaughtering polish people with bare hands, killing children and raping women?
Don't mean to sound butthurt, but there were no rules in WW2.
>>5293514
Nothing very interesting, my great grandfather served in both WW1 and WW2.

Great grandfather was a resistance fighter during the war, and a spy of some sort in the cold war, but that's all we knew about him. He wasn't allowed to talk about anything.
Don't know much about my paternal grandfather, I think he was in Nam, the last person to serve on my mom's side was my grandfathers' grandfather, he served in the Prussian army in the Franco-Prussian wars.
He threatened his to disown any of his progeny who joined the military, I guess he'd seen some shit.

He immigrated to the United States (Texas) in 1858 or earlier, when the war broke out he decided to serve to Confederacy. He fought in the war for all 4 years, and because the CSA lost, he migrated back to Serbia in 1867 and brought all his fortunes with him.

My grandfather went for Japan-China War.
His rank was a first class private.
He was a soldier of the light machine gun.
Because he returned home in the first half of the Japan-China War, he did not become the captive of the Soviet Union forces. By the way, the neighboring person who was younger than my grandfather was caught by the Soviet Union forces. And he had to live as a captive in Siberia during several years.
>>52941845
He said it wasn't as bad as leftard feminazi historians want to make it.
The thing was, at the time LIberation of Berlin happened, Germans were fucked and people were starving.
Polish/Soviet forces storming Berlin had food, so German women saw opportunity in that. And the only thing all of them had to offer were their snatches.
So most of the time they fucked for a piece of bread and weren't actually raped.

Don't worry... I've already been confided all that. I only meant to draw irony from using "liberate", which isn't too exact.
The mirror image of those "rapes" were mirrored in France with how much French women near Belgium and Strasbourg bein starved out by the Battle of the Bulge were fucking Americans left and right.

There's a rude joke somewhere there.
>>52942056
Same

Though it technically devolved into a litteral bulge that Americans were in, and it can be understood that they'd want to stress that aspect of the battle since being in that position really screwed up them over.

I say technically because he landed in Europe and snuck on a boat back to the US
>>52942429
>wait why did he fight for austrohungary did they even interact with poland at all
Yes. Austrians despite being a poor shithole actually respected the Poles. They allowed us to have our own army and our own insitutions, if not for that, it would be harder to regain independence.
Russians on the other hand stole everything, even stole the whole fucking library TWICE, with books collected in Poland since "ancient" times, it was the first library or one of the first in Europe.
Germans deported Poles and germanised the regions.

Based otherwise.
Grandpa was working for the resistance in ww2.
He was supplying them with food and was stealing bullets from the local garrison.
Eventually he was betrayed by his neighboor who was colaborating with the Italians ocupators.
Granda was sent to Mathausen concentration camp...but he was one tough bastrad and survived for 11 months untill the allies liberated the camp.

Grandpa was in the chetniks at first, until they started collaborating with the germans.
In order to save his family he joined the partisans and said that he had to shove croatians into caves and blow them up somewhere in slovenia.
His older brother got executed by the partisans because of some massacres he was responsible of, and then there is his stepbrother who saved grandpas ass because he did actually join the partisans and followed orders.
The other grandpa was a muslim that ran away from everyone who tried to recruit him, but still ended up in slovenia too with the partisans.

My resistance grandpa frequently broke in and stole from them, and Nazi grandpa had tried to have him arrested multiple times.
When my mother married my father he refused to let her go since my pa is half-Javanese Indonesian and not a Dutchman (he has a slight tan).
She ran away but Nazi grandma (a former German officer, uniform and all) forced him to go to their wedding.
Neither side wanted to take the first step and let the hostilities become history, so they didn't liked to meet. When they did, they didn't talk.
Resistance grandpa died first though, but Nazi grandpa did go to his funeral unexpectedly. Gave my father his old war memorabilia, first time I've ever seen them talk too.

I'd join the military if it meant sitting around being bored all the time, bullshitting with each other that you want to see some shit but actually are just happy you're not getting shot out in a muddy puddle somewhere.

My grandpa died in WW2, in Auschwitz.
He fell from a surveillance tower when he was drunk during his shift.
I am the only one that served in a war as far back as I can find. Kind of sucks to think that I am the only one.

Other Gramps was in the Brown Water navy during Vietnam.
Just a Monitor, no zippos, doesn't have anything to note minus using the artillery piece to launch flaming chickens into space.

It would be cool to see that. I don't have any photos from my grandad's naval service.
