I never knew my mother, and my dad really didn't speak of the war, other than to say it was 'awful'.
Most of that generation never spoke of WW II. They came home and got on with life (well, most of them). My Dad never speaks of it either. When we attended the Tribute to WW II veterans back in August, this was mentioned during the presentations.
