Can you share a story of war to me?

Answer 1

I was about four years old when World War 2 broke out . At that time we were living in a two up two down terraced house in Liverpool.After London it was Merseyside that suffered the most because the Germans were after the docks which were very important in the war effort. and although we lived about five miles away from the target area the enemy dropped bombs on us quite frequently. One time I remember that the air raid siren sounded and my mother couldn´t take both me and my elder brother to the air raid shelter and one of the air raid wardens,Mr. Lancaster, came to help us . He took me while my mother took my brother and on the way down a back alley I could hear a bomb coming down. Immediately Mr. Lancaster laid me on the ground and sheltered me with his body. Fortunately the bomb went off several streets away and we we were able to reach the shelter. Wartime with a common enemy to face brings out the best in people and I still remember that incident where a man was willing to risk his life for a little boy.

Answer 2

Yes, I'm happy to share a war story with you. Consider this:

Three American soldiers had sought refuge in a small hamlet to escape a blizzard during World War II. Looking out the window two German soldiers approached. Suddenly, the Americans threw open the door, and pointing their M-1s at the enemy, demanded that they drop their weapons.

The one in front obeyed, but the soldier standing behind him clutched his slung rifle tightly, turned, and ran away as fast as he could. One of the American G.I.’s took aim, determined to shoot the fleeing German because their location would be at extreme risk if the enemy got away and reported the incident.

The American was a sharpshooter, yet a clip of five well-aimed shots at the back of the fleeing man somehow missed. Unfortunately, the three Americans were later taken prisoners by an assault convoy and were placed in a POW compound. One German soldier approached the concertina that held within the prisoners and caught the attention of the American sharpshooter.

The American instantly recognized the German, having taught him the Gospel of Jesus Christ while on a two-year mission in Berlin years before the war began. This was the same man whose life was spared as he ran away from the three G.I.s in that small town.

Space here does not allow the full detailed story, but the German who had converted to Mormonism before the war helped the man that had shot at him earlier by providing an escape path back to his own unit.

The Lord will often protect those believers of Him–even in time of war.
