Well, I’m not smart enough to ponder “what ifs” too much.
But I have two grandfathers who were highly decorated soldiers in WWI and WWII.
One fought for Germany in WWI and then the USA in WWII.
One for Turkey and then the Jewish brigades for England (and later the Irgun, but we don’t talk about that).
Both said they fought on the correct side of each world war.
Heh.
