My wife's grandfather fought in Europe in WWII but both he and my wife's grandmother died when she was young. Are there any recommendations on how to see his deployment history or in which battles he may have been involved?

If possible, I'd also like to search for my grandfather's history as a merchant marine in the Pacific theater. Thanks in advance.
