Here is an interesting little episode from WW11. Our cousin served in the Lancs, his father served with national service, his grandfather, from Dublin , served a life time in the Duke of Cornwall's Light infantry and the Hampshires.
However his MOTHER was a young German soldier, and when WW11 ended she took off her uniform and made her way to Belgium. That is the story as we know it.
She died a few days ago in England at 83 years of age , RIP; I believe her brother died at Monte Cassino, a German soldier of course.
Such is the nature of war. Our cousin is a fantastic guy BTW.
