On which side did your ancestors fight in WW 2?

[Sultan Suleiman]

The Allies fought for the interests of International Jewry, that is why. Evil won.

Well as a Slav I am glad they won

[Aramis]

Fathers family: Axis. They joined the Black Legion, and some went to the SS.

Mothers family: Allies. Yugo Partisans.

But I don't think they were ideologically driven. They simply joined those side who offered them their weapons first, which they needed for defense from the serbian chetniks.

[Vasconcelos]

None. And that I know of, none fought in WW1 either, eventhough we were involved. One of my great-grandfathers was to be drafted, but he hid himself and avoided it. Lucky him, and probably me, considering the only battle the CEP (Portuguese brigade under British control) was involved in was catastrophic at best.

[Mraz]

My mother's grandfather was in the Croatian Home Guards, so axis.
My father side was probably on axis side too since his village was set on fire by partizans.
They didn't do it for ideological beliefs though.

[Anarch]

Unfortunate that thanks to the Allies we live in this shitty fucked up system today.Don't know how we would've been with the Axis victorious though, worst scenario is that the states would become corrupt-power hungry tyrannies (like what happened to communist Romania for example).

What rubbish. It's thanks to Germany that Western conservative racialism was smeared with the savagery of Nazism. And before anyone complains with the Icebreaker thesis that if Hitler hadn't hit first, Stalin would've overrun Europe - well, potentially this is true, but it's no excuse for the lebensraum doctrine. Backing Vlasov properly and adopting the Polish doctrine of Prometheism would've changed the entire character of the war, and given the Slavs freedom (and gratitude) for a successful German invasion. Stalin would never have stood a chance - and Reinhard Gehlen knew this.

To answer the question, my ancestors fought for the Allies in the Pacific.

[Siegfried]

Both sides for me.

My maternal grandmother's father was an Axis soldier who was involved in Russia. From what I understand, he was captured and then later released.

My maternal grandfather's father was an Ally soldier since he began his activity after 1944 (when Romania became an Ally force). His body was never found (he might still be alive), but it is believed he died somewhere in Czechoslovakia.

My paternal great-grandfather's were too old to fight, and my paternal grandfather too young (only 17 when the war ended).

[PetiteParisienne]

My ancestors were in camps or in hiding, but my husband's grandfathers fought. His maternal grandfather fought in the British army, and his paternal grandfather - who was a German-born Pole - was recruited for the Wehrmacht, but fled to France and joined the French Resistance.

[arcticwolf]

Allies.
