You can only post in this thread if your grandfather fought in WWII. Pic realted

We had 3 french pow living with us and helping on the farms during the war 1 of them became a close family friend after the war and we still visit his grandchildren
occasionally

Wrong side tho

WW1

Not my grandfather but my great grandfather fought in the Wehrmacht in WW2.
He died towards the end of the war, and while that sucks for my grandmother because she had now lost both her parents I probably wouldn't have been born because she moved to the US afterwards.

>fight in Stalingrad
>survived
>sent to Gulag
>survived
>walk from Siberia
>also survived
>Meet wive again
>She managed to survive and feed the kids by marrying another man
War is hell.

Great grandfather fought and died. We were Banat Swabians living in Romania at that time.

The story that I mainly hear from my family is that he heard a broadcast on the radio and proclaimed proudly: "Adolf is calling and I'll follow his call"
He left the week after that and never returned.

My great grandmother became the housekeeper of a priest. Somehow she had 2 more children afterwards, it was a miracle, but the Vatican doesn't recognize it to this day, fucking pricks.

Oh God, that's the worst thing in the world.

>big belarusian family
>everyone except one (1) teenager survives

My grandfather was in the resistance and did some guerilla warfare.

His brother was classified as aryan (both him and my grandpa were tall blondes) and married a German woman. He was hanged during the war by resistance for treason.

Reporting in.

>have a great great uncle called Ignaz
>Everyone in the family over 60 still calls him Nazi Onkel (unlce Nazi) to this day
>no fucks given

My grandfather spent some time in the camps for resistance activity
good times, even wrote a book about it

No idea whatever happened to that stein. We do still have the flag, though. And a Luger and Wehrmacht helmet with the name "Schönfelder" engraved in it.

The army thought my grandfather was too smart for combat and they sent him to Carnegie Mellon for a while but he purposely flunked out so he'd get combat duty.

I had a great great uncle who was in the SS who got hanged after the war.

>I had a great great uncle who was in the SS who got hanged after the war.
By whom?
(btw if we're talking about that stuff I can skip the mandatory "my condolences" without being rude right?)

The US tribunal at Flossenburg. There's even a chapter about him in a book called The Dachau Defendants.

Thanks for the info.
>The Dachau Defendants
This sounds really interessting. I'll try to get my hands on a copy.
(29eur on Amazon is a bit much though)

Give some details,what exactly did he do

He did nothing wrong

and his grandson is loser nolifer shitposting on Jow Forums, prolly he is rolling in his grave xD

Guy joined the Nazi party in 1930, so he was pretty dedicated to the cause, and joined the SS in 1939. He personally took part in a number of executions IIRC.

Not really excusing what he did, but he fought in WWI and spent some time in a French prison camp and got fucked up.

I got it from the library a few years back, it was pretty interesting. I didn't realize that my great grandfather and some of the other brothers who were living here in the states wrote to Truman asking him to not execute the guy.

I'm his great great nephew desu.

Both my grandfathers were in the US military but only one saw action (took out his fair share of panzers in the Ardennes and helped free a concentration camp).

Also, my grand-grandpa from other side of family was captured and kept in an Oflag whole war. In 1945 he was freed by Allies and found himself in Western Germany. He lived there until 1952 when he moved to commie Poland.

Kill nazi shit

Whoops, the second part was meant for Guy deserved it desu. If I were there I would have shot him myself.

Thank you very much for the post. I was a bit confused since I thought 2 people were related to the guy in the book.

killing your own blood is the greatest sin

Genocide is worse

Lmao you could probably dox me with that book title and all the info I've shared. I even share a surname with my Nazi relative

That's the most Aryan guy I've ever seen

America is big enough, I hardly believe that you're the only one with that surname. And honestly I think that you're a nice guy. Furthermore even if I didn't like you going through all that trouble would just be insane.

Good thread (￣ー￣)b!

My great grandfather fought in Vietnam, so I don't think my grandfather fought in WW2

I've actually only met two other burgers with this surname who I wasn't related to. It sounds identical to an extremely common Anglo name so I imagine a lot got anglicized. IIRC it's quite common in Germany though.

You're kinda making me want to guess, but i'll refrain from it. If you actually met 2 in person there should be hundreds in the US

So what happend to your relatives Mikata-kun?

It should have been a little earlier time.
several hours

My grandfathers are both born after ww2. My great grandfathers fought though, all four of them, being Finnish and all that.

It's Mohr desu. Considering how many krauts came here, there probably are a few thousand of us in the states. Not as common as other German names like Schulz or Schumacher though.

There are 10,265 hits for "Mohr" in the German phone book, so I feel like you're right about a couple of thousands in the US

>Mohr
nice

great great uncle fought in Hong Kong with the British until he got POW'd in 1940. He probably didn't even speak english, only french.

actually survived but was apparently a huge dick

My great-grandfather fought in Stalingrad and was a soviet POW

he was a gebirgsjäger, originally from Austria

My grandfather did fight in WWII.

My grandfather was born in 1943

Oh come on it doesn't have to mean that

My family is redpilled. They didn't take part in Jewish wars or mutilate my penis cause people on TV told them to

What is this supposed to mean?

I looked it up and it means either a North African person or someone who lives in a swamp. So I'm either Alberto Barbosa or Shrek. That side of my family was Hessian if that means anything.

I don't want to insult you or anything but it's the old word for black person. Not in an insulting way like nigger just someone with black skin.
Today it's seen as almost insulting and hardly used anymore.

you fought for the wrong side gramps

>not calling him Ignazi

Mine fought on the eastern front starting from the gates of Moscow in 1941 and ending in Berlin 1945. He started as a simple rifleman, then volunteered to be a medic. He managed to smuggle books on field surgery and medicine from somewhere, and read those. When the batallion surgeon died, he applied and got the job.
His logic was that surgeons and other high quality medical personnel were pretty much the only people on the eastern front who could be captured by the enemy, and not be executed. He worked his way up to medical administrator for an entire army corps by the end of the war, although he still would often perform aid by himself due to a severe lack of experienced surgeons and medics by 1945.
He said his decision to become a field surgeon as fast as possible and depriving himself from sleep while obviously still performing regular soldier duties in the winter of 41/42 was from seeing what happened to a SS regiment during the Soviet winter counter-offensive. They supposedly started off at 3000 men in December, and were down to 30 or so in February, without retreating. Seeing a 99% casualty rate like that quickly convinced him that being a regular front line soldier was not exactly the safest of options.
Even at the end of the war, he ran to the west and they let him in because he made the allied field surgeons look like they were fresh from high school. His childhood home was now in a foreign country and decided he had enough of Europe's shit. So now this is why I'm a fucking leaf.

That's pretty hilarious since most of my dad's family look like they could walk right out of Nazi posters

Sorry I really didn't want to bring it up and I know it's just a name. Maybe it evolved over multiple generations or something.
But even without being able to read German and just looking at the pictured of the "Mohr" article you'll understand the meaning:
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohr

I can read a bit of German, I took 4 years of it in HS. Makes me wonder where my family got this name, though.

Is this your picture?

Yes.

Maybe it started with a place like Moorburg, then the oo was replaced with an oh for phonetic spelling and in the end the burg was cut or something like that.

Or it could be that they lived in a swamp, IIRC that's one origin for it especially in the North. Like I said, that side of my family came from Hesse, so I'm not sure if that counts as North.

my one grandfather was too young at the time, but would have been involved had it gone on for just one more year, the other was a scientist

my great grandma was 16-17 when ww2 started now shes 100 something

Mine had to plant potatoes in the village square because Germans stopped sending bread. War is hell.

Grandparents were too young but great-grandfather got blown up by a ruskie mortar while trying to take out a MG nest.

Was he ok? :(

He was my age

When grandpa was my age, he was killing Nazis in the Ardennes.

Now that I'm the same age, I'm buying female hormones on the internet and trying to turn in to a girl. What the fuck happened?

>grandfather liberated Europe and married a 15 year old model at 22

Just remember that the Nazi focus on Heavy Tanks and Blitzkreig ended with their tanks being outclassed in the mud of the eastern front

Also France kinda brought it on themselves

No there was nothing left of him save for some scraps of cloth and flesh. Great grandma got sick and died shortly after and my grandma had to get a job in a factory and raise the surviving family on her own at the age of 13. All so I could be born and waste my life shitposting on nip animu boards.
Imagine that.

Mine did some minor resistance stuff in Paris I think, more just to fit in and avoid being classed collaborative. My one great grandfather was working in some adminstrative position, and managed to make some good money and acquire a few properties. Set him up nicely, he started a new business after the war and died a wealthy man.

He was probably fucked every day in the army.
