[QUOTE="med stud, post: 105389, member: 1211"] I have a friends grandfather at home that probably would qualify for hero; he was born in Estonia in the 1920s. When the Nazis invaded Estonia, he was in the opposition, commiting sabotage and propaganda against the invaders. The Nazis caught him and sentenced him to death. The days before he were to be executed, the Soviet union fell into Estonia, and chased away the Nazis. Now, the prisoners were all saved, right? No. The Soviets didnt know what to do with all prisoners, so they killed them. My friends grandfather could hear the rifles from his cell window, rifles that were meant for him too in time. Then his mother (my friends fathers grandmother) sold her jewelry, bought liqour for the money and got the guards drunk. Then she took the key and released all of the prisoners in the jail, who escaped. My friends grandfather continued his underground resistance, but this time against the Red Army. After a while, the KGB was on his tracks, but then the friends grandfather managed to get to a boat destined to Sweden, which he entered as a free passenger. He got over the Baltic sea without getting noticed (if they would find him, he would be dead) and arrived in Sweden. Here he were put in quaranteen in a camp, and was released in a couple of weeks. When he was released he immiediatly enlisted on the Finnish side of the Finnish Winter War, where he again fought against the Soviet Union, but this time as a soldier. After the Finnish Winter War, where half of his friends died in the trenches, he moved to Gothenburg in Sweden, where he started a construction company which turned out well, and married a woman, and their son turned out to be my friends father. When the immensly powerful nations of Nazi Germany and Soviet Union occupied a small country like Estonia, no one would blame him if he just played along and tried to survive, but instead he risked his life against the invaders. When he got to Sweden, he could live in peace in sleep in a comfortable bed, but instead he chosed to fight his enemies again. If he doesnt qualify for a hero, I dont think anyone does. [/QUOTE]
