When I was a kid, my dad went to World War II. I didn't know him. I was born in '41.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was born in 1954. My parents were brought up in the war years, and life was hard.
I was born during the war, on October 20, 1942, as the second of five children. My father, Rolf Volhard, was an architect.
A military childhood in the 1950s was very much informed by WWII. My brothers and I often heard stories from our dad - and from other kids - about things that had happened to their dads. We constantly played war games and, nearly every Saturday, saw a different WWII movie at the post theater.
I was 20 years old at Pearl Harbor. I was in the Navy about a year and four months before the war.
My brother and sister are both older than I am and were born before my father went off to World War I.
I was a lieutenant in World War II.
My father was in the First World War.
I was born in the Second World War during the Nazi invasion of my country.
Born in 1936, I experienced the Second World War as a child in the city of Gelsenkirchen-Buer. This area was heavily bombed, but fortunately, all members of my family survived the war and post-war period.
My mother was a product of World War II. My grandfather was on leave in Edinburgh when he met my grandmother.
