On October 16, 2014, Paul Schroeder sat down at his home in Longmont, CO and told his life story. In this segment from that story, he told about how his family served in three different country's armies. His dad served in the Czar's Russian army during World War I and the Russian Revolution. The family would then flee communism and settle in Germany. Hitler would come to power and the family was now under Nazism. Paul's three brothers and a sister would serve in the German military. One of his brothers and his future father-in-law would not return from the Eastern Front. After the war, Paul would flee communism once again in East Germany and cross the border into West Germany. He would eventually immigrate to the United States and serve in the Army's 11th and 82nd Airborne.
