Do you have any family that survived WW2?

[dbgtz]

My living grandparents were born during the war and I have a great nan who was a nurse during the war. I'm hoping she has loads of stuff stored somewhere, but she doesn't remember anything anymore so if there is, I'll only find it when she's dead. Off topic, because I have long hair she always thinks I'm a girl.

Maybe your previous HabboxForum name also confused her

All my grandparents were around and survived it I only know of my grandad (mother's side) that was involved with the war, flying a bomber. Not sure what my father's side did, or my nan.

My great aunt might have records of what happened. She was a nun before she passed away in the 90s, and she had alot of time on her hands so she made a huge family tree and kept aload of pictures too

EDIT: I think he worked as an engineer on bombers, rather than flew them.

Basic mathematics would suggest he hadn't even been born in World War One

just sayin'

[Circadia]

becca if hes 83 then he would have been born in 1927 and ww1 was fought from 1914-1918 which was 9 years before he was born XD

my greatgrandad fought and survived in it but died in the mid 90s so i didnt know him all that well but my mum said i was his fave
and my greatgran was alive at the time but dont know what she did and she died in '99 a few months after she crashed her car into a bridge from pressing the accelerator not the brake:rolleyes:

Both my grandparents were alive and still alive today but during WW2 they were rather young. I was discussing with my uncles and father the other day what my dead grandfather did in the war but sadly they don't know, it's not that it was a sensitive subject, it just didn't really come up which is a shame, apparently he saw a lot of action in North Africa and Italy, particularly Venice.

Oh thats interesting!

My nana (great gran) survived WWI and WWII, she had a lot of amazing stories about them. She died in 2005 though, she was 92!!

i love stories from my great grandma. i could just sit down and listen to them for hours. ill post one of the stories later on if anyones interested!

My great auntie who is 100 and my great uncle

wow!

My grandad was a bomb defusal man, average life expectancy was a few months at most, he survived the whole war.

thats pretty amazing!

im not sure about WW1 or WW2, but my grandad was in the army and he fought in the Hong Kong riots.

ohh interesting.

All four of my grandparents defended Switzerland. All four survived. One kept all his guns etc, quite interesting!
Now only 1 grandma is alive. Rest died naturally

did you actually get to see the guns?

well my granny's 99 so she must have, but never really discussed it with her. Basically she was popping out the kids when it was going on, and they lived in Birmingham I think, nothing too exciting. My (dead) grandad used to man the big lights and guns to shoot down air crafts I think, quite cool

oo thats pretty cool.

My remaining living grandparents survived.

what did they do in the war?

In Switzerland when a guy turns 18 you join the army for a bit (compulsary), anyway, my dads "job" was to tell other people what type or plane is flying towards them, and how fast it's coming etc. Great stories about it!
