This is gona sound crazy but true. My stepmoms dad was in ww2, and has never talked about the war till recently. Hes 94 and not doing good. He told my dad he was on a 5 man team to go kill hitler, his team got 400 ft from him. My dad asked did yall kill him? All he said was hitler did not commit suicide. 2 men on his team died, he got shot n the leg. I dont know why he would wait this long to tell someone that. But very interesting. He also got awarded the metal of honor but turned it down. Is there any way this could b true? Or is his mind gone?

Thats a pretty crazy story to just make up if its not true. He was in his bunker the final few days. Did your grandpa give a timeline?

I'm sure it has nothing to do with coming to terms with mortality or the fear of being forgotten.
