Of course, this is more fantasy then actual war. As for myself, since my family was in Germany at the time, sign me up for MG-Schütze in the Wehrmacht. I prefer to keep my ass on the ground.

I'd offer some NSDAP fat cat to herd his sheep for free, if he takes care that I don't have to go to war. ;)

There's a tough one. In seriousness, I wouldn't mind commanding a mobile artillery battery in Italy - great landscape, and you're actually doing fighting without much risk of dying (counter battery fire and air attack noted). In a fantasy where I couldn't die, I certainly wouldn't mind being a British infantryman fighting my way through Caen with a Sten or SMLE.

Of course, if this were the real thing, back then I'd either have been in Malta, England or Denmark - the first one I'd probably get a job at the docks like my grandfather, either find myself pulled into the PBI in Portsmouth or into the Navy for the second one, and probably sat tight with my family in Denmark. Might've delivered resistance newspapers like my great grandfather, but I'm not much of the type to go blowing up railway lines.

EDIT: Nearly forgot - at least one ride in a Lancaster during a night time raid would be sweet as heck. Assuming we didn't eat FlaK.

Oh please...they were nowhere near what I would call successful. I wouldnt call killing one T-34 in exchange for twenty 12-15 year olds succsessful. The Volksturm, and Hitlerjugend units sent to war was mostly KIA or even worse.

In real life, you dont get to respawn...

No, do not think of me as an immature little trigger happy child who just wants to go to war to shoot people. Ive read enough books (thick books, not picture ones!) and I know its horrors.
We can't realy understand war just by reading about it from books.
