A Conversation for Stories from World War Two

WWII

Post 1

Two individuals on the German side of my family played a part in the Second World War.

My grandfather was called up for service when he was only 14 to defend his hometown of Wesel in 1945. He manned an anti-aircraft gun in combat but survived to prosper and raise a family.

My greatuncle fought at the battle of Stalingrad. Somehow he managed to survive the destruction of the sixth army. This kindled a strong faith in him and he went on to become a missionary after the end of the war.
