One Grandfather in Winter War.

The other Grandfather worked for supply lines during WW2 ( too old for front ).

Two uncles served as behind-the-lines patrol men.
I remember as they told scary stuff when I was a kid:

"...and thatīs when the Russianīs head flew like a rotten potato..."

That is because behind the lines use of a gun was very unwise and they usually did the job with a sharpened shovel or a knife.
