In which WWII army should you have fought?

[leaette]

I emailed this quiz to my good friend who is currently serving in the Army. He's in his mid-30s and has been in the Army since he was 18. A "gung-ho" kinda guy.
His result was the French. HAHAHAH. man was he mad about that. I couldn't stop laughing for a good 10 min.

 

[dostacos]

well I got Poland too. [gotta watch out for that fight to the last man nonsense ]

I would have wanted to be a Marine

looking back on it NOW.

In 1969 I took a 1A in the draft, they did not call I did not volunteer different times, different rules.

British and Commonwealth! - OK. Give me that Spit.

The French get such a bum rap because of 1940. They fought their hearts out in WW I, and have great records in many other conflicts. Their internal politics has been their undoing, as it was in 1940. I would bet that their present day armed forces are, man for man (person for person?) comparable to any in the world. As aggravating as he was, you can't say Charles DeGaulle didn't have a lot of fight in him.

Thankfully, I got British and Commonwealth too.

I wonder why just Britain and the Commonwealth, though? Why not the Empire as well

:eusa_clap :eusa_clap Well said, dhermann1.
I am almost through reading Churchills "Memoirs of WWII" - and even old Winston had plenty of admiration for the french army, navy and airforce.

 

[RIOT]

I would have liked to have fought for Der Wüstenfuchs, Herr Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, in the ranks of his Afrika Korps 7.Panzer-Division. Gespenster-Division! The Ghost Division!

 

[The Wingnut]

Methinks the test was written by a Finn

The other way around would make a better movie.

Either way, we'd be mates. I'm British and Commonwealth, too.

Riot: you sound like my husband. He is a German armor expert. He is OBSESSED with anything German WW2 armor related. He even has a Tiger tank tattoo.
I used to have a hamster named Rommel. hahaha

He must be a great man that husband of yours

I am sure we both agree that the PzKpfw.VI Tiger I tank was the best at it's time. Much feared with it's 88mm KwK 36L/56 gun. He did beat me on that Tiger tank tattoo idea, I will just have to get a King Tiger for mine

Don't tell me his favorite tank commanders are Michael Wittman & Otto Carius as well.

 

[big kahuna]

I got Poland..

I guess all my Mosin-Nagants will come in handy..

King Tiger? Just a mere King Tiger? Why not decisively win the "mine's bigger than yours" arms-race with a Maus?

[RIOT]

That would definitely win me the arms race, but not the popularity with women.

The Panzerkampfwagen VIII is simply not as easy on the eyes as the
Tiger I or Tiger II
