It’s unsettling how some foolish humans never take history seriously and keep repeating the same mistakes over and over. I mean, there are still ongoing wars in many parts, and it just makes me question how they have not learned anything from the massively destructive World Wars.
Those were truly horrifying days, and it’s really a wonder how people survived them. Alas, we can only know about it from stories, so these folks asked their grandparents to share their World War II experiences. Some of these tales are honestly quite brutal, so scroll down at your own risk!

Australia here. My grandfather was a teenager during WW2 in North Queensland and he distinctly remembers seeing General MacArthur coming out of a building in our home town (not sure what he was there for) and thinking that he looked like a complete j*****s and just not a nice person.
We are also from a big army town and the Americans used to dock here frequently. As a result of the American lads “stealing all the women”, he very much dislikes America and American’s now haha.
