My Grandpa as MacArthur

Description
This page is dedicated to the veterans of WW2. Please take a moment and read through some of the comments of those who have shared stories of their family members who participated in the war. Thank you.

(Inspired by another mod I saw on here about a year ago.)

Immortalizing my grandfather, Lincoln Bass Ralph (1919-1981), in my favorite game.
He fought in the Pacific Theater during WW2.

Thank you for defending freedom!

Thanks everyone for the nice comments & allowing his memory to live on through all of you <3

Update 07/10/24:
It has been a pleasure to read the comments on other people's family members who also participated in the Second World War. Their memory is just as important, especially in a time where we are losing more & more veterans by the day. Thank you for stopping by and sharing, it is really heartwarming to see so many people share stories and memories of their forefathers. Much love to all of you!

I had three great-grandfathers who fought during the Great Patriotic War: Mikhail Nikulin (infantryman), Anatoly Tolstykh (gunner), Alexey Anisimov (sapper).They fought in Moscow, Stalingrad, Kursk Bulge and Berlin.They all went through the war from beginning to end and returned home as heroes. Unfortunately, I did not manage to catch them during my lifetime, and therefore, inspired by you, I decided to perpetuate them in HoI4 as a modification

WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning! Once there was a little boy called Joey, he was ten-years-old and he lived in a mental hospital because he posted a crappy copypasta onto a People Playground mod's comment section . He got so bad he went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the Feds decided that best idea was to get rid of him so they set up a special room to kill him, as inhumane as possible. And he sat there in agony for hours until he died. Now every week on the day of his death he returns to the person that reads this letter, on a monday night at 12:00 a.m. He creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by pegging you and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other profiles on this one site, and he will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently if u copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minutes nothing will happen: sorry man i am not taking the risk

My great great grandfather was on a submarine. that's all i know. i got my middle name from him, which is also my steam username, to honour him. i never met him, but i know he was fighting for his country, he lost his leg in the English channel i believe. God bless you Delgardie

One of my Relatives was a Desert Rat Towed Artillery Gunner. Took part in the Battle of Tobruk and was Part of the Group That Stayed Behind to Let the Rest of the Soldiers Evacuate Before the Italians and Germans Captured the Port.
He Was Captured and Sent to an Italian PoW Camp

He Escaped was Recaptured, Escaped, Was Recaptured, Escaped for a Third time and Was Protected by a Family of Italian Civilians (If i Remember the Story my Dad told me Correctly).

My Great Grandfather was a Hungarian Anti-Tank or Anti-Aircraft operator (Based off of pictures i found of him) He fought on the Eastern Front and survived the war.
