the mustard gas permanently fucked up his lungs and he couldn't do anything too intense for the rest of his life, so he started a newsagency in 1921 which has been in the family ever since

Great Grandpa fought in the merchant marines out of Liverpool. He operated an anti aircraft turret and fought in the battle of the Atlantic.

His son (my grandad) joined the army and got many women pregnant in Berlin. Moved to shitty suburb outside of Liverpool called Skelmersdale. Nan is a little delusional, grandad is a little stuck up ex-con. Both are seperated.

My mum moved from Liverpool to Canada, fucked a qt rafting guide (my dad). Split from him and married a landscaper.

I was born and have since done:
>weird kid at school
>racist weird edgy /b/ meme faggot at another school
>womanizing edgy kid in another school

Now all I do is play xbone and browse memes in college.

On my dad's side:

Great grandparents are unknown, I was told they were rotten people.

Grandpa is a car mechanic that hates me because he thinks I am gay.. I just like skinny jeans and punk rock. He met my grandma while working on a roof of an insane asylum. She was a patient there. She was raped by her brother, cousin, and later on her foster brother, which sent her into suicidal woes and she ended up at the asylum. My grandad checked her out (somehow, didn't get full details) and they got married. I think he got his uncle to adopt her or something.. Idk.

Buuuuut. Rumour has it that she had sex with a native guy, and spawned my dad. Which would explain why he never got along with my grandad. My dad was a rafting guide one year, after travelling the world the years prior. He met my mum, had me, got cucked, and boom.

Now he is married to a millionaire and he acts like he is top shit.

Don't think any of my great-grandparents served in WW1 that I know of. Both sides of the family where sort of in a state of flux moving from Scotland and Ireland to Australia during that period.
Both grandfathers served in WW2, on dads side my grandfather was based in Darwin and from all accounts got pretty sick of being bombed, but never served overseas.
Mums side grandfather, he served through most of the pacific islands in the immediate vicinity of Australia, specific battles I know of-
Battle of Labuan, Battle of Milne Bay
Bougainville Campaign and somehow managed to survive both the Battle of Tsimba Ridge and Battle of Porton Plantation, the latter was a fucking nightmare.

Didn't have anyone serve in Korea, Malaysia or Vietnam.
It wasn't until me that the family had another service member that actively fought overseas.

Great grand uncle or something like that fought for Red Army
Well, two of them did actually
One drove a tank and the other was a machinegunner
The machinegunner had a funny way of looking at his job. He would say "I shoot the nazis and they fall to the ground. What they do after that is their business."
They both got medals but unfortunately they were accidentally left in the jacket that my grandfather was buried in, so they're basically irretrieveable at this point.
Speaking of which, my grandfather shook hands with Ho Chi Minh because he was sent as part of a group of carpenters to Vietnam to help repair it or some shit.

Great grandfather ran a decent sized southern town. He was the CEO of the bank and the mayor for around 30 years.

Homeboy was a legendary hunter but apparently he preferred to shoot his game in the off season. Apparently he was caught hunting deer in the Spring (didn't like to hunt in winter because it was too cold) by some overeager wildlife and fisheries officer at one point.

When he went to court he denied the charges of course. The judge (a drinking buddy) asked him why he was equipped to hunt if he wasn't hunting, and he replied deadpan "I was equipped to rape but I didn't do that either."

Long story short, game warden got transfered 300 miles away to a mosquito infested marsh and my grandfather was acquitted.

Paternal Grandfather fought in Both Europe and Burma in WWII. Captured by the Japs and interned for almost a year (long after the war ended). Suffered health issued related to malnutrition and malaria and dies in his 50s

Dad Served in the Suez war and then in N. Ireland

Pretty much everyone on his mothers side were military as well. Some fought in India and the Boer war, and a GGGGrandfather was in Nelson fleet as a Botwains mate (not sure the boat off the top of my head).

Mums side:

Her father was Waffen SS and fought in Poland

His Father was regular SS officer and a party member that served in Berlin through the war

They both escaped to China after the war to avoid being put on trial.

GGGrandpa was a Prussian soldier (don't know much else).

Her mum side:

Her Grandpa was an Austrian (Hapsburg) soldier.

Many mighty warriors... so that I could be here watching Europe rot form the inside with shitskins.

Not specifically a battle, but 7 or 8 generations back on the male line only, he did a lot of massive reforms for the Navy and won a lot of battles in the Mexican-American War and the US Civil War. He got a circle named after him and fucked all of his descendants out of inheritance of the family company because of it.

Great grandfather on mom's side was one of the first pilots for the Berlin Airlift. Every male in my family had been in armed forces since revolutionary war, but no specific notable battles that I know of.

My grandfathers three brothers all died on the Eastern Front. One fell in Stalingrad, one went MIA during Operation Bagration and another in around Kursk. He himself was at the atlantic wall since he was only 17 and was not in an area that was attacked. All four of them were regular Wehrmacht or RAD.
From my mothers side, my grandfather fought in Caucasus close to Vladikavkas, the furthest point the Wehrmacht got. I suspect that he was involved with SS there since he always spoke positive about Hitler, got training with dogs and was increadibly long in Siberia as a prisoner, I believe until 1953. My grandmother was married before to another man, he went missing in Russia and died in a prison revolt somewhere in Siberia. There were also two more brothers who fell but I don't know when and where.

The region where both family side came from was extremely supportive of Hitler, more than 90% voted for the NSDAP during the last free elections in my hometown, while the NSDAP won around 30% in Gemany alltogether.

My great-grandfather is pictured on the left and his brother on the right. Not too much is known about my great-grandfather other than that he was sent out to a Russian gulag after the war and never came back. His brother however was apparently an aide to Hermann Göring but we also don't know what happened to him after the war.

My grandmother was 16 years old in 1945 working as a nurse in a hospital in Southern Germany. She told me one day that everyone was frantically working in the hospital when all of a sudden a man came over the loudspeaker and said that the war was lost and everyone could go home. She then said that everyone just stood completely still and looked at each other in disbelief. Another story she told me was that when the Americans came in and started occupying the land, they went around collecting Mein Kampf books and other memorabilia but she hid everything so we still have it today as well.

As for my grandfather, he was born in the 1930s and was part of Hitler Youth. After the war when he and my grandmother married and were living in Berlin, he became somehow involved with intelligence operations between East and West Berlin but then suddenly went missing in 1967 and was never heard from again.

So yeah. My Grandfather didn't trust the Soviets in the East, as did many other Germans, so he stocked up on supplies and some rifles which we still have today.

My greatxmanytimes-grandfather in the 1700s was a dragoon. He fought in some war and came home alive.

My great-grandfather was a dragoon during the winter war. He bravely demonstrated why horses weren't as great as they were two centuries ago by taking a grenade. Came back alive, served as a prison officer in the continuation war. Because of the """"horrible atrocities"""" commited during his stint as a guard (ie nothing) he went to a soviet gulag after the war.
