Weird little grandpa tidbit.
My grandpa on my father's side was in a tank crew on Anzio in WWII(yeah, yeah, I'm old as ****). And this is the only thing he ever told me about being in the war.
They had a lull in the action. Grandpa had to take a leak. He climbs out of the tank, takes a little walk. He;s ten feet from the tank, starts to whip it out and for reasons he couldn't even explain, decides to walk a little farther away and ends up on the other side of a huge tree.
As he's peeing, the tank get hit and blown to bits. The tree he's standing behind gets blasted with shrapnel. He gets a piece in one of his triceps which was not all the way behind the tree.
Everybody in the tank dead. That's how close I came to never existing. That's how close my family name came to ending.
Holy shit is that wild!!!
