i think i would plump for north africa, there it was a 'clean war' if you could ever sall war that, most of it was fought out in the desert so that there was much less 'collateral damage' as the americans call it, in the desert warfare it was you against the enemy and the terrain. the chances of mass civilian casualties was reduced to the battles in and around the cities and towns but most of the fighting was done out 'on the blue'.
In britain the bomb disposal squads also had a large number of concientious objectors who served with it diarming the bombs, they objected to the taking of life but would disarm bombs as to them it was a way of stopping the death by war. many died but others were decorated for there bravery, one said that people would be confused by the ncc (non combatent corp) patch on his shoulder above the bomb flash for bomb disposal.
