My grandfather landed a week or two after D-Day. He was a combat engineer, and fought through the Ardennes, Belgium, The Bulge...

He never talked much about it, other than saying it was cold. He died at the age of 70-something when I was in highschool, before I really got to even know him.

I thought Dad would live to be that old. :(

Heh, just after I saw this post The Longest Day came up on the History Channel downstairs. Nice timing. %)

My grandfather wasn't there; he was going up Italy at the time and then served in the Netherlands to the end of the war.

WWII's still Beyond My Comprehension for the most part.

my grandfather on my mums side was in Africa and then in PNG, he was in the airforce, and then somehow he ended up in the advance force with the Yanks that liberated the first concentration camps, he never talked about it, only to say that it was hell on earth, he kept diaries.
