It is well-known fact that every finite $p$-group $G$ is nilpotent. I am asking to have a counter example when $G$ is infinite $p$-group. Thanks.
An infinite $p$-group may not be nilpotent

2A finitely generated nilpotent group has a finite torsion subgroup, so cannot be an infinite $p$-group. – 2012-12-10

Let $G_c$ be a finite $p$-group of class $c$. Consider the direct sum $G = G_1 \oplus G_2 \oplus G_3 \oplus \ldots$
