When I was little my mom told me that my grandfather served in an elite force to protect our family from evil people and I should be proud that I'm his grandson. I found this yesterday in his personal effects.... Should I still be proud?

I smell bait but I'll bite
>yes
Ethan Morris
yes, he served his country and that is all that matters
Kayden Davis
More than ever, your grandpa was not a pussy and had very strong ideas about the future of his country.
Robert Ross
This might be bait. But yes. He answered the call when his country needed him. A soldier is above the politics of his country.
Angel Baker
Yes.
Joshua Lee
Hang on surely you knew your grandfathers nationality and roughly his age and could put 2 and 2 together? Calling bait on this one.
Daniel Hernandez
B8 4 sure
But interesting topic non the less

Talked to my mother today about papa and she said he joined the SS at 19 but she didn't remember the year she said somewhere around 39-40 and our family was originally from Austria but moved into Germany in the early 1930s.
Isaac Mitchell
You should be more proud than any of us.
Jaxson White
Sure you should be proud.
My great-grandpa on my mother's side of the family was in the SA, my great-grandpa on my father's side was in the SS. My grandpa on my father's side was a low ranked officer in the Wehrmacht.
Military types are just that - military types.
They rarely indulge in politics - and especially if your folks were soldiers, there's nothing bad about that heritage.
That is - not even including the whole hitler-did-nothing-wrong-meme.

Does anyone know a site where I can view the military records of German soldiers during WWII?
My grandmother who passed away some years ago had two younger brothers who supposedly died on the front against Russia.
Both came out of the city of Jena.

This is your key to being the king of Sup Forums so yes
Jayden Carter
Holy shit, I feel your post is bait
>soldier is above the politics of his country
Yikes.

Wikipedia has a list of German personal, it might be on there if you ctrl F their last names
Samuel Bennett
Link?
Nicholas Diaz
It's unlikely but possible, worth a try
Jonathan Lopez
The list is too small. I know a lot of the German records for WWII were destroyed.
My grandmother always said that one of her brother's was killed and the other one went missing.
They were young so they did not have a lengthy military career.
My greatgrandfather served on a boat at the Black Sea and died there.
About him I did find where he's gravestone is and what rank he had, but that's about it.
My grandmother lost all the paperwork and pictures she had during a great flood in the 50's

A lot of shit happens in 75 years

Luis Davis
probably bait.
various members of my family served in WWII
some in the army, some in the resistance.
be proud, no matter what side he fought on. he fought for his country.
Ian Thompson
Found an English lang request form. You'll have to pay for the records though. dd-wast.de
Ryan Williams
I second this !
Wyatt Thomas
Yeah I have known about this site for a while, but it's a payed service.
I'd rather do my own research first and if it's not possible to find any more information I will use their service.
Lucas Bell
You should be even more proud.
Robert Cooper

do you really need to ask??

Sup Forums seems to still be pretty bluepill.
