Got a Real-World Weapon, Armor or Tactics Question? Mk. XXIV

[Storm Bringer]

Sabaton has a song called Soldier of t
Three Armies, which is about a man who fought for the Nazis, then the communists and then America iirc.

I believe he was eastern European, was conscripted by the Germans and sent to fight in Russia, was captured by the Russians, dragooned into the Red Army and sent off to the far east, where he was captured by the Chinese, who dragooned him into the PLA, and was finally captured by the Americans in Korea, to the utter confusion of all involved.
