Ok, this is super specific and will be extremely hard to answer. But, I need to find out the truth. My grandfather was drafted into the United States Army sometime around 1943 or 44. According to him, he was about to be shipped off to fight in D-Day when his entire platoon got narcolepsy (its not contagious in anyway). He awoke three or so months later, and his entire platoon had died. After a few months rehabbing he was shipped out the LA, and was on his way to Japan when the bombs where dropped. Now, this could easily be the lie of a man who just dodged the draft and moved to Canada. However, for the rest of his life he suffered from narcolepsy, and was able to take apart/fire a gun in under a minute. Which would suggest he went through basic, and is telling the truth. Now, I know the USA used to test Syphilis on African American Veterans and many within my family agree that our grandfather was involved in sort of similar experiment. However, we are white (albeit my grandfather used to be a dumpster diver during the Depression in the Appalachians so we weren't really that high on the cultural totem pole during that era), so I dont know if was at all similar to the guys in Tuskegee (i.e. race, location, branch) or something completely different (like the lie of a man dodging the draft). I would love to know the perspective of somebody who studies this piece of history. What other experiments were the US conducting on there population? Does one of them sound similar to my grandfathers? Or did my grandfather just hide in Canada and lie for the rest of his life? I need some perspective.
