World War II soldiers, what were they thinking?

Have you ever imagined what it would have been like to have been part of the D-Day landing or to have been surrounded in the Battle of the Bulge? Everytime I see a movie or History Channel show about this, I try to imagine myself in the situation of the grunts. How would I have reacted? Could I have survived it?

On D-day, how did they determine who hit the beach first? I would think that would have been almost a death sentence. Did the soldiers who got picked to go first bitch about it? I wonder if they had any idea how bad it was going to be? I guess it really depended on the section of beach you landed on. Some encountered hell while others were only lightly defended by the Germans.

good one. jerseyart woulda liked that one and gone on a 20 minute diatribe about it
 
My buddy's grandfather was on Normandy. He said he wanted to be the first guy at the door, because if there was a split second from when the door dropped to the Germans concentrated fire on it, that was it. He said the door dropped, he rolled out and to the right, and hit the beach instead of going straight ahead.

By the way, nice sig. I just followed your lead.

So you are a lawyer? By the complete lack of taste and intelligence in your posts and sig, I'm guessing that you are a public defender?

I believe that people were made of sterner stuff back in the day. That's part of it. But, if you believe that the soldiers in Normandy and Bastogne were putting their lives on the line for the goal of defeating Hitler, guess again.

They knew that they had to be there, but the reason that they did the amazing things that they did was because of the grunt standing right next to them. Their brother in arms. Soldiers, sailors and marines in WWII did amazing things in the worst combat zones to make sure that the guy next to them made it outalive with them, just like they do in Afghanistan, Iraq, and several other foreign lands today.

In extended campaigns, with a lot of combat, odds are that the guy next to you has saved your ass at one time or another. Or at least put his life on the line for you at one time or another. Any combat veteran worth their salt is going make goddamned sure that a fellow brother, who has pounded the same dirt time and again, is going to make it out alive ... come hell or high water.

If you have never served, it might be hard to understand. But the brotherhood forged in the military, especially in combat, can be stronger than family. Just my $0.02.

It wouldve been hell. no amount of training could have prepared them for that. getting jumped by a gang of muggers would be intense, but shit like the opening scene from "Saving private ryan" would cream all over any form of fear.

poor bastards. RIP, if thats at all possible

My dad was part of the D-Day invasion.

He doesn't talk about the war much. About the only thing he's ever told me was that he was seasick all during the channel crossing.
 
They were thinking.......

Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belong
They are weak but He is strong.

then they Died.
 
i studied WW2 for a year, and yeah 1 of you were right trench was fair would far be the worst. i cant think what it would be like slipping into a massive puddle of mud, and slowly slipping into the mud, and just panicing untill ur face is coverd then u suffocate, then breath in mud, and possbly touching dead bodies whiles under the mud., or watching a friend drown in the stuff, it would just break my heart.many of them had foot rot, which was just because of the mud, and water, that led to them getting their legs cut off ! fuck sake. no way
 
all of the stories i have heard since childhood and all the movies i have watched were scary, i couldnt imagine myself in that situation...god bless those men that did what they had to do...

My grandpa was shot down over Itlay and held in a camp for the last 8 months of the war. I think he said it best before he died:

In the war, we had big men with small guns.
Today, we have small men with big guns.

Yes, because every single WWII veteran is currently deceased.

He passed about 3 years ago.

I believe most of them enlisted to defeat Hitler, defend the country, defend the allies atc. But after a while it boiled down to what you said. Coming out alive on the other end with most of your honour intact & as many of your Brothers-in-Arms beside you.
I had an uncle in Italy. Said it was hell. I read squadron diaries of the regiment I was in describing their life. It was amazing reading with the tank grease stains, blood smears, & food and sweat stains.

My wife's Grandfather was taken at Dieppe. POW 'til the end of the war. Still had bleeding ulcers in his leg when he died 2 yrs ago. Slave labour in salt mines in Holland. Still had the bullet in his leg. He was fucked up for years after.

Yea i follow that. IF you were stuck behind some guy trying to get out of a boat and it all bottle-necked from the front guys due to fear you could say your last prayer if yoru lucky.
