Do you have any family that survived WW2?

[kuzkasate]

And are still alive to this day?

I have 3 great grandmas who are like 80 odd. One worked on a farm in a tractor since she was 14 & they made like tanks and guns and stuff later on. The other one worked all day in the forest, chopping up wood because wood was needed everywhere then. And the other one did the same I think.

I did have a great grandad who survived WW2. He had LOADS of awards. Like from his shoulders, all the way to his knees, but he changed them for like these little square things cos he didnt have enough space lol. He died in 1999 though.

So, do you have any family that survived WW2 and are still alive to this day?

my grandad was in WW1 fight, i remember him telling me about poppy fields
he had those medals too, i know they ment alot to him, after he died my moms stupid brother sold them without telling anyone, such a waste.

my grandad was in the war but he's never said what he did, to anyone ever - always changes the subject. apparently there's a letter that will be read out at his funeral (he's still alive.)

really weird.

My grandfather went with Canada to WW2, he didn't like to talk about it either. Other than that my family was very safe, because we're in Canada

My gran was evacuated in ww2 with her mum and brother, she's 80 this year. My grandad was also alive during it but he wasn't evacuated

sounds interesting. i actually dont know what my great grandad did. he didnt really talk about it.. he did loads of things. i know he did stuff like say for example USSR knew the Germans were planning something, but didnt know what it was or when etc, my great grandad would sneak in, kidnapp a German General, bring him to the USSR hideout and they would get the information out of him. but he had LOADS and because my family are Russian, he obv fought for the USSR and to get 1 medal, you had to do HECK of a lot!

i suppose he doesnt wanna talk about it cos maybe he doesnt want to remember all those terrible things? idk.

Do you mean people who were involved in the war? If not then what kind of question is that

He sold them for like £100 ;/ he didnt need the money, he didnt realise how precious they were to everyone else. Some people can be so selfish.
