    They were toddlers, or were too old so there was no chance for them to fight virtually.

    Three great- grandfathers on the eastern, one on the western front. Two SS - Leftenants, a Panther commander and the last one motorized infantry (was managing the war horses).
    Only one returned.

    One greatgrandfather was an operative in a special department at Kalinin, Leningrad, and 2nd Baltic fronts. No desertion or cases of looting in groups he worked with, as captain he led the neutralization of German sabotage groups twice including a parachute landing group. Another greatgrandfather was an oldman and went to the front as volunteer, took part in Battle of Rostov in infantry. In 1941 he was wounded and couldn't be active as soldier more.
