Yeah my maternal grandpa went through it all. Landing on Normandy, summiting the bluffs, laying among the dead pretending to be one of them as the bayonet patrols roamed through, Market Garden, clear into Berlin.
Never more than a buck private, but saw his way through.
My cousin thought It'd be funny to come up behind him and say Seig Heil as a teen sometime in the late 1980s and he got knocked the **** OUT.
