My grandfather grew up in Danzig, Germany. He fought the Russians on the eastern front, was captured, and because a Russian POW. He escaped and walked back to Danzig. I’ve got the memoir he wrote of his time as a soldier and POW.

My grandfather was in the trenches as an army officer. He then transferred to the signal corps and was a observation plane pilot. Survived three plane crashes.
