Great Uncles' military records (and medals?)

♂

Since my grandfathers' brother also served in the military and as far as I know was not married and did not have children, how easy it would be to get his records as well as my grandfathers? What I am trying to get at is this, would the military give me a copy of my great uncles' records since he never had any children? Besides my grandfather, there was another brother who had children. As far as I know those children may not be interested in the records or any medals this individual may have earned. Since I may be one of the few living relatives that are close enough of a relation to him and asking about him. All I know is that he was captured by the Soviets in 1939 or 1940. The only other information is that he died in 1940 after being released from a POW camp and was attempting to make it back home before dying somewhere enroute. So if there are any medals he earned, would the military issue them to me as the next closest relative?
