I fully understand this, My wife's grandfathers both fought, One for his king, as part of British Army being that he was Scottish (As a Radio Operator) and the other was a radio Operator as well but he was forced to join Wehrmacht as a German living in easter europe with his Hungarian/Yugoslavian wife and as much as he didn't like or agree with Hitler it was what he had to do.
