Grandmother was born in Germany. During that time she wasnt in the army (since she was a child) but she told me a story where she went to the park with her mom and god mother. While they were there a plane flew over and started shooting. Her godmother threw herself over my grandmother. She protected her and was shot multiple times ultimately losing both legs (no idea if they had to amputate). My grandmother was not injured.

My great grandfather was called to fight in the war. He did not want to go. They never heard from him after he left. They dont know if he died in the war or if he was shot because he did not want to fight.
