WWII: who did your family fight alongside?

[Arnow]

Well, during world war II, my grand mother/father/uncles were in very different places...

My grand father fought for the free french in northern Africa, but he never really spoke about that. My grand mother was just a civilian in southern France (Nice), and when the allied arrived, made portraits of soldiers.

My other grand father was a soldier in the french army but was made prisoner soon after the beginning of the war in May 1940 I think...
He was sent to Berlin, where he met my grandmother, which had been sent there because of the Service du Travail Obligatoire (Forced Work Service), which forced french people to go to Germany to contribute against their will to the german war effort. They married in Berlin in 1944...I still have at home this frightening wedding certificate with an eagle/swastika stamp on it...

And finally, the shame in the family, my grand uncle, who died last year, volunteered in the SS in the last months of the war.... I first knew about that a couple of years ago...
