Think I'll take the ball turret after all.

>>34693856
I'm guessing these numbers were for the Australian AO?

>>34693407

Anything Polish; invaded by Nazis, murdered by Soviets, and then sold-out by western allies.

Actually, their recovery rate was pretty high. You had bigger chance to end your life after being hit in USMC then in Red Army.

>>34693935
This.


Also German Soldier in Stalingrad.

>>34693705
Then you're retarded

>>34693407

And how exactly moving on torpedo boat on tight rivers is bad?

>>34693407
Member of a penal battalion in the German or Soviet army

>>34694222
Well, the boat is likely made in Russia and might sink, catch fire or explode (or all at the same time) at random.

Japanese infantryman in the far western theater.

You would probably be fine unless you landed at Omaha
D-Day wasn't near as savage as movies and games like to fool people into thinking

Soviet, not Russian. Russia was a part of the Soviet Union between 1921 and 1991.

>>34694354
You mean the Soviet Union was a part of Russia between 1921 and 1991?
It's not like the other parts really had any say in the matter.

>>34693407

Submariner in pacific was by far the worse, after maybe being a Jap on a suicide mission.

Post WW2 allied or axis soldier.

Seeing your nation die slowly even after all the things you have done to prevent it.

>>34693407
Kamikaze pilot. Not only do you have literally no chance of living, considering if you weren't shot down your mission was to fly your plane directly into a ship, but you also have the fact that you only got a sweatband for it.

>>34693407
I would be a b29 bomber pilot. Best plane of WWII

>>34693856
Im assuming bombardier is so high because fighter tactics were to make head on passes?

Adolf Hitler

US Merchant marine

As an American, this is literally the most dangerous job you could have for the whole war.

>>34693407
U-Boater or Allied Bomber. U-Boat crews had a 75% casualty rate. Allied Bomber crews had a 71% casualty rate. Fuck that noise.

Think its because the bombardier station was a pain to get out of during an emergency, If it was only related to the head-on passes then the pilots would have a similar death rate

There are so many things that could have gone better. Well the war is not over, so we fight on I suppose

being a tanker was safer than being an infantryman in the us army, at least

>>34693407
Paratroopers frequently got fucked. At D-Day a lot of them fucking drowned because they landed in streams and then some even got encircled.
