      My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some things of those things #Thread

          I feel old with a grandad who was in WW II, then I meet people my age with dads/uncles in WW II and then I feel REAL old.

          Tor is younger than me, which I was about to remind him, but my dad was younger than his dad.

          My grandfather was in WWII but I think he may have been too young to enlist and lied about his age.

          My Grandad was as well, but my mom married late, so even though I'm almost 50, he was in his 20s while in the Merchant Marines in the Pacific.

          I'm 42. My Grandad was a POW in WW2. He escaped a number of times and was caught. He rarely spoke of his time in Europe, hated the Germans till he died. I'm pretty sure in today's parlance he'd be diagnosed with PTSD because of it.

          Ah, well, my grandad *was* German, at least by birth (he came to the US when he was 5.) I'm pretty sure that's why he went to the Pacific. 😏 Though he never really talked about the war, he was an alcoholic, suffered deep depressions, and died at just 62.

          My Grandfather was stateside, military intelligence during WWII, my father landed at Normandy on the 7th of June and got his 1st Purple heart at the Battle of the Bulge. I was the retirement baby.
