Well, my grandfather served in the Wehrmacht since 1938-1945 in nearly all the theatres of the war in many, many units and in many, many roles. He reached the rank of Oberstleutnant (Lt. Col.) by the end of the war and was awarded the KC. My grandmother (his wife) served in the Luftwaffe's Female Aid Corps.
