My dads uncle was captured by the nazi's and put into a prison camp. They fed him snow and potatoe skins. He never liked to talk about it much, my old man said he was never the same after he got out.
My mums grandfather was a soldier in WW2, I remember him telling me a story where he was on the beach and a navy ship of somesort fired a torpedo and it pulled up right along side him but didnt explode. The thing was a matter of metres from where he was stationed.
My great grandmother when they use to live in Italy and were very poor, they had 4 nazi soldiers come to their house my grandmother was just a baby. The 4 soldiers took my grandmother and brought her near the fireplace where they all surrounded her. My greatgrandmother thought they were going to throw her into the fire. Turns out they left gave her back, when my great grandmother when to unrap the baby to see if they did anything to her they had stuffed gold and jewllery under the blankets aswell as bread.
