@the-gravedigger saidAs you know I personally was too young, but my two Uncles were both army. Both survived it all but didn't talk about it. They have both since passed themselves.
Thanks for saving our butts.
Were you army, navy or air force ?

I had a history course on it.
Everyone also waited until near the end to get involved when Nazi Germany had nothing left but old men and kids fighting...

@contenchess saidMy dad was shipped off to Britain (he was a brengun carrier driver) in 1940 and was stationed there till D-Day when he landed with the Canadian forces. He was then tasked with reconnaissance (going ahead of the troops to find where the enemy were and repotting back to the troops. He worked his way through France, Belgium, The Netherlands and finally into Germany.
