Your role in WW2.

July 30th, 2006 04:46 PM

You are a civilian in any country you choose in the WW2 era, and must join the war. IF you had the choice, what would your job be? What country? Any specifics such as unit, battles and so on.

Since my Grandfather came from Italy after WWII, then my choice for what country I would be fighting for would be Italy. I would want to join the paratroops, I would most likely want to join the 'Nembo' or the 'Folgore'. If it was 1940 or before, then I would have to join the Lybian Colonial Paratroopers. Meaning I would have fought at Derna and would have fought as a rear-gaurd for the 10th army after Op. compass. If I joined 'Folgore' 'Nembo', well you all know where they fought most notably. I would settle for a regular rifleman, but would prefer to have an SMG because of that Bretta 38. But I would NOT want to be a LMG member because than I would have to man that god awful Breda 30.

Fighting with claws and teeths for Norway! When we after many months of bitter fighting will have to capitulate, I'll hitch a ride with a fisherman over to the UK to continue the fighter from there. Favourite role would have to be a fighter pilot flying Spits for the 331 Sqd. (No) of the 2nd Tactical Air Force.

I read about a comic-book artist who got fired up with patriotism about 1942 and ran off to enlist. The army put him to work....Drawing comic books. He did "instructional" books and things meant to fire up the troops.

Sounds like as good a way to pass a war as any....

I'd either be in a Tiger in Italy, or an Adjutant for my Grandmothers Grandfather, Kommandant von Paris, General Dietrich von Choltitz...

Well lets see.

I couldnt/wouldnt join the German army because 1: They lost and 2: I'm circumcised.
I wouldnt join Russia because being worthless cannon fodder isnt fun.
I wouldnt join Japan because I don't agree with their ideals. But if I did agree with their ideals, I would proabably be an ohka pilot or some other kamikazi. Dead serious.
I would probably join America as a sniper.
I might join Finland as infantry (or a tanker) because Finland is awesome.
I would probably join the Polish army as a 7tp tanker.

I would definately like to be in England and later take part in invasion of Normandy as a paratrooper. Hard to choose though if British or American, Brits had great country, planning and accent while Amies got great area for their operations.
