Okay, If your German and know anything about your past through grandparents or parents please share. Like, why did they leave, and what happened when they did? Or any personal stories would be great. Any help is greatly appriciated I’m doing a report.
Oh..then nationality
Mine came before the revolutionary war to seek religious freedom. Some of the males were Lutheran ministers. Some others were Hessen (not Haitian–that’s in the Caribbean) soldiers who defected and joined Washington’s forces.
My uncle was an American Army Air Corps pilot during WWII. He was shot down during a bombing run over Ploesti (in Romania). He was captured, and the German soldier who captured him had the same last name as my uncle. He asked my uncle why he wasn’t fighting for the “fatherland.” The German soldier was ashamed, and the German Luftwaffe (air force) turned my uncle and his crew over to the Romanians who treated them much worse than the German Luftwaffa would have.
