Yes, you make it through the entire war, only to return home and die of a treatable ailment. Breaks your heart.
I met a woman through the forum years ago, (her posts are still here) and told me the tragic story of a father she never got to meet, for he too went through the entire war and while celebrating with the Russians in May of 1945, died from alcohol poisoning (home-brewed at the front). Talk about life not being fair. That story still haunts me to this day.
