I've heard it told that of my German ancestors who came over in the mid 1800's some did so to avoid conscription into the then Prussian Army. They could see the writing on the wall.whlinder said:

80 to 90 years later Granda Yella was back to kick their ass storming the Charmin Soft defenses of Utah Beach. I agree with @BearsWiin that Utah Beach was nothing special. -
I went and looked it up (since one side of my mom's family has this fairly well documented), a big chunk came from Germany between 1870 and 1883. Great-great grandpa fought in the Franco-Prussian war and then basically got on a boat to America. Ended up in Nebraska because he was classy.

Watched it, the number of dead men in no man's land is staggering.
Just running to die day after day after day, over nothing.
