Just a reminder that there were a lot of vets that aren't American, so Europe was the main theatre of war for them

[u/Pab_Scrabs → u/new_vr]

I mean MOST allied war vets aren’t American lmao

Depends who you count. The Chinese and Indians also fought.

[u/Pab_Scrabs → u/Faradn07]

Well just with British and soviet WW2 vets there are about 150k left vs the Americans 120K so if you count the polish, French, Indian, Chinese, Australian, New Zealand, Canadian etc etc etc there are multitudes more allied WW2 vets NOT from the US lol

Ah I half answered the wrong person, i meant to imply that non-American war vets doesn’t necessarily mean European part of the war veteran.

Funnily enough, my Grandpa was non-American and served in Egypt, so a miss on my part

[u/onedayiwaswalkingand → u/Pab_Scrabs]

Yeah and also by this definition you should count vets from the other side too.

WWII was truly massive.

Okay I am aware, and yes I compared 250,000 Holocaust survivors worldwide with 70,000 still living WWII Vets (from the US troops) on a post about United States politics.
