Default Re: Relatives

Why yes, actually.. I'm one of the few who have alive relatives who were on for the German Nazi side in WW2. I've only got to meet one of them, though; my Great Uncle Bill, who's my mother's mother's brother. My mom's father was living in the german-inhabited Poland area, and he was too young to fight, and had no choice but to flee to Canada, where he lived in Vernon, BC, and met my Grandma, who was a second generation canadian, originally from Germany-invaded Poland. My grandpa still speaks a little Polish, and he's taught me some.

My dad's side was different, though. My dad's mother was a farmer girl (full blown WASP), and she was a "soldier of the soil" for WW2, providing wheat in Saskatchewan for the war, and my dad's dad was too young to fight in the war... but his brother fought in the Canadian Air Force. He chose Air Force, because the British Empire was training all of their Air Forces in Saskatchewan, and he was helping out anyways.

There, now don't ask anymore. :P Just kidding.
