It's strange, I guess, but my grandfathers and their brothers that were in the war all came back (not that the Germans weren't trying in the cases of both of my grandfathers). I never had to hear about a grandfather or great uncle that died in the war, but so many must have had to. I think it would be especially (not sure of the word to use here poignant? not interesting, but something like it, perhaps) to have a family member die in this, one of the more infamous events in the war.
