Interesting personal history of a man who fought in the Finnish Army against the Soviet invasion, with the Waffen SS against the Soviets and with the Green Berets. He joined the US Army after jumping ship in Alabama. They recognized him to be an exceptional soldier and a good leader.
Prior to and during WWII, there was a Korean youth that was impressed into the Japanese army, during combat with Russia, he was captured by Russians and taken into their army. Russians sent him to fight Germans, captured by the Germans he was taken into German army and stationed in France. Captured by Americans, he was liberated and fighting days were over.

Very interesting Cyni. Thanks. ;)
I worked with a Sudeten German guy on the State Highways. When Germany annexed the Sudetenland he volunteered for the Waffen SS. His father protested to his commanding officer that he was being treated too harshly in boot camp. They arrested him as a dissenter and sent him to the camps in Germany. The last I heard he still had not found a trace of him.
He was captured by the Russians and riding on a prison wagon with a female guard. She fell asleep and dropped her rifle. He jumped off the wagon and retrieved the rifle and woke her up. She gave him a big kiss and told him if she had lost her rifle they would have killed her. He was one of the few to be repatriated. Most died in the gulag as late as 1952. ;)
One time a snow squall blew in off the lake. So I called for back up. He lived in Skokie. This is where the Jews lived before they moved up and out. He came on the air and asked, "Where is the snow?" I said, "It's up north. Come on up here." ;)
