World War II

Hitler. This one word is so dark and cruel, I think we all know why. He hated the Jews, and he killed them just because of their religion and beliefs. A big war started because of Hitler. Many, many, lives were lost during that war. I have a story for you. It's about my great grandfather who survived in World War II.

Preston Gunnell was a Confidence Man during WWII.  He was captured by the Germans in Africa and was a prisoner of war. His job was to settle disputes between the German officers and American Soldiers. He saved the soldier's lives one day. They put too many prisoners in a small room to work. The prisoners went on strike. The Germans were lining all the soldiers up to shoot them. The German officer put a gun to my great grandfather's face, demanding him to do something. My great grandfather figured out in metrics the size of the room and that it violated the Geneva Code. He told the German officer this. They put down their guns and set them free.  My Great Grandpa is a true hero.
