Re: Interviewing My Grandfather, What to Ask?
Really anything about WW2 would be good. We lose so many WW2 veterans everyday; their stories and memories are usually quite amazing.

Re: Interviewing My Grandfather, What to Ask?
Ask him whether he was in combat and (if he was) who he fought with and what happened to them.

Mhmm,
Well, if he fought June 6, 1994 Nomandy Landings (D-day).
That would be a good place to start, I'm guessing.

well considering the times he grew up in, his childhood is very historically relevant.

That was primarily World War 1.
Ask about Hitler's rise to power, U.S propaganda, etc.

Ask him what it felt like when they realized what came out of the extermination camps.
