Where would YOU serve in WW2?

call me chicken.

reading the general attitude of the armies of world war II, the army that like to send its troops into a meat grinder the least was the US army. instances wherein they had their a$$es handed to them were mostly cases of error or outright stupidity. but on the whole, they didn't like to lose men.

 

Well I've worked the flight deck of the USS Lexington CVA 16 in peace time.
I would like to have worked her flight deck in the South Pacific.
It would be interesting without the angle deck and with prop driven aircraft.

 

Since I'm an American, I would say that I'd like to serve with one of the most professional units (raiders, airborne etc), but really I'd choose the marines, cause ultimately you're fighting for/with the guy next to you. Besides for the most part we used our elite units the wrong way.

 

Hmm,

Most defintly 1st choice:

Desert Rat in Tobruk, Gotta love my fellow Aussie ..

ELITE of the Commonwealth

Or, A German tank commander in North Africa or Russia

 

How about that you would serve where the government decides you will serve.

 

British 1st Airborne Division.

 

I would like to be in France then Italy 1941 as Luftwaffe ground unit then of the German Fallschirmjager in troops on the ground of Normandy ofter Italy where I would wear splinter uniform then in Michel wittmins tank as main gunner and then Holland to battle of the bulge in my 44dot revisable winter parka

 

Are you in the clothes business?

Nice signature, what does it mean in Engleesh?

 

Why?? Why if you are a Canadian would you want to serve in the German military? What makes you want to serve in the German military rather the the Canadian? Because of the camo uniforms?

 

JC, the answer is simple. They have the coolest guns in CoD and there uniforms are sweeeeeeeeeeet! Besides what is the feasibility of going from aircraft maintenance to tank gunner to infantry?

 

I have to agree. That is what it seems to be most of the time LOL.

 

Well, the "feasibility of going from aircraft maintenance to infantry" was total in 1944 onwards when the dregs of the manpower barrel were being scraped

 

Europe, 1944-1945. I think being part of some of the most important campaigns during the latter stages would be mind-blowing.

 

I would have been the British commander at Dieppe. I would have called that attack off very much earlier.

 

As a Dane, my options would be sadly limited. I can only hope that I would have been able to get out of the country and over to England to serve with the British Army - and, in failing that, as a member of Holger Dansker, one of our resistance movement groups.

 

Its good to see some here who would fight for thier country rather then fight against it with the enemy.

 

Viva la Resistance. oh wait thats French.

 

i wud fight in a tiger tank cos it took liek 10 shermans 2 kill 1 tiger oh and teh uniforms are so feaking cool!

 

Jc, for someone who knows a lot about warfare.......your fighting a losing battle mate..
