You're comparing Germany today with the Germany of the OPs grandfather. Apples and Nazi oranges.

  I assumed OP was talking post-war era.

    Yes, that's the most likely reading, I'm just making a (poor) joke.

      Unfortunately, HN has zero tolerance for humor of any kind :-(
      • craftinator 7y ago
        Downvoted for being funny.
        • lisper 7y ago
          The first rule of humor on HN is that you do not even talk about humor on HN. Which rule I have of course just violated. Note to downvoters: FYIOTLB. And happy new year.

  You'd have to go back to Great Grandparents to mix it up with Nazi's, for most people under 50. Maybe Great-Great...

    I'm under 40 and my grandpa escaped a concentration camp and gave testimony in the Nuremberg trials.

      I'm 41, born when my parents were in their very early 20's, and my Grandpa missed Korea during his draft, he was out before it started. You must have much older parents.

        The Korean War started 5 years after WW2, so it sounds like your grandfather missed WW2 by just a couple years.

        My mom & grandma both married guys their own age, and had children around 25.
