    I always reflect on my grandparents stories.

    Grandma’s barn (Europe) was hit by an errant shell back in 1941 a few minutes before she went to milk the cows. Livestock died, she survived cause her parents were giving her a taking to for sneaking off with a guy…my grandpa

    Same grandpa was captured by the germans twice in a span of 4 weeks, and managed to escape both times.

    Neither ever elaborated on the stories and we never pressed them.
