Where would YOU serve in WW2?

these days urgh,you can't tell by peoples last names were they came frome anymore,things have changed.

 

Dont think theyve changed that much...Bromhead was at Rourkes Drift, Anglo Zulu wars hundred odd years ago Heidi.

 

The Battle of Rorke's Drift - The Zulu War

Dont say it too loud though, youll wake Wtid45 up and he'll burst into song with Men of Harlech.

Waffen SS

 

this did not shock me at all waffen ss! lol.

were would i serve during ww2?
i had a thought,i would fight with my own grand fatehers,cause you'll no you'll be look after and protected all the time.
safest way and you get to fight with you're oewn ancestors.

 

Id probably want to be in the 101st or 82nd Airborne Divisions...Or maybe a Glider Pilot , Although they did crash alot >.<

 

i would be a P-61 Black Widow pilot, flying over germany during the night. And hopefully destroy any greman fighter that comes to close..

 

In either the RCAF No 414 or 430 squadrons in the Battle of Britain

 

If I had a choice, I would be an RAF fighter pilot on Spitfires. I love the idea of flying, and would love to learn to fly one day, so if I had to fight it would be in the most enjoyable way possible. Another thing that appeals to me about flying is the autonomy; if you are in trouble, you have the power to get yourself out of it if you have the ability. If you are on a ship, you are one of hundreds of people, and cannot use individual skill to get out of tricky situations.

 

everybody otto sluted me yay,never had thee big man himself do this for me!

bomber harris,howe abuot being an mossqutio fighter/ bomber pilot?wuold thate excite yuo to,it does withe me.

cheers!

 

Yes, being a Mosquito pilot would be something else I'd love to do. But there's no plane in the world that can match up to the gorgeous-ness of the Spitfire for me

 

eache to there own! spit-fire ist my second favoutte.

Hi Za,

That's one of my favorite Norman Rockwell paintings from the war! Thank you for sharing.

 

He was good, wasn't he?

 

If I had to choose, not sure if i had done this yet, but i would love to be in the airborne, or the big red one.

Just the sights of Holland or France I don't think I would want to go home except for the single fact that people would be shooting at me while I would be there.

Just reading and hearing about how the men felt about Holland before the battle and even how the townspeople welcomed them, it just seemed like heaven on earth to me.

===========================================
On a different note Norman Rockwell was quite an amazing artist, i had the privledge a few years ago to go to Massachusetts where they had the Rockwell Museum and he had some stunning pieces of art. One of my favorites although not war related was one of a baseball game during a rain delay.

 

In Europe as a war correspondent/photographer.

Or the home guard.

 

I've always liked Norman Rockwell paintings since I was ten or so.
