Though I am Portuguese, I live in Pernambuco ( Brazil ) since I was 3 y.o. so I consider myself Pernambucano!
My grandfather fought for Brazil even before my family moved here. He won a medal called Medalha de Sangue do Brasil ( Brazilian´s blood medal ).
Even though people dont talk much about Brazil´s participation on WWII, it was an important one. We owe much of the training and equipment to the USA. But the courage and blood were our own.
The FEB main battle in WWII was the Mount Castello, against the 232 German Infantry Division.
