Where would YOU serve in WW2?

I believe the Women's Auxiliary Balloon Corps has a Barbados base.
Interested?

It's a man's life...

 

May I hold your Feldjacke?

Spelling mistake: it's not "cool", it's "kool"

I'm starting to get the hang of this newbie talk!

Anway, to avoid going off topic, a drill instructor sounds like a nice job. It is actually quite fun yelling at people.

 

Thanks. But I have to keep fighting the good fight

 

Now remember Joe. "It takes 5 Shermans firing at once to destroy a Tiger" lol.

 

Joe,remember to carry a few of these in your pocket!

 

no it tuk like 10000000000 shermans to kill a tiger the sherman woz da worst tank of teh war



Forgive my poor little eyes Za, but what should I carry in my pocket?

 

Well thats what I have "read" LOL

 

Certainly not a gun, or else people may think you are happy to see them...

Those are Fisherman Friends, you ignoramus, they're mints to keep your throat clear, ferpetessakes!

 

Now thats a good reason. Can see the merits in that one. Does Lexington have an old comrades society or something similar? Have you ever managed to chat to anyone who worked the deck at that time? That would be interesting to compare.

 

I would like have served as a Doctor in one of the German POW camps so I could give those injured soldiers proper treatment that they deserve.

 

Why not in any other countries POW Camp? Why Just German?

 

Because I think I would have liked to develop "comradships" with men in the camps(Or any other nations camps) so that I could end the war with a feeling of that I changed lives and helped lives.

I feel strongly about German POW medical care as I get the impression that there is a myth that German camps were devoid of Doctors.


But believe me, I would serve as a Doctor in any nations' camps that I could have because a captured soldier has done their duty and deserve to be treated with respect and care.

 

Slipdigit: A German ran POW camp, sorry for the confusion.
JCFalkenbergIII: I would have been either position! I am sure that both would have been a great help.

 

I would serve with the Waffen SS under SSBrigadefuher Paul Hausser perhaps during the third battle of Kharkov and saving the Whermacht as usual.

Usual combat gear would suffice.

 

Just a question: Would your grave have a marker on it?
