Interesting true love story that is similar to this


A German man named Frederick Albert joined the Paratroop branch of Germany's Armed forces/became a Fallschirmjager just to impress his World War 1 veteran father.

He fought and was captured in Italy, where he was then sent to a POW camp in America. He met a Black woman serving as a nurse there and started a sexual/romantic relationship with her that soon progressed to her getting pregnant with his son and later marriage.
