French infantry retreating from Moscow in the early Russian winter. Out of 12 men that entered Russia:

1 KIA
2 POW/1 would die in captivity
7 died from disease or froze to death/drowned
2 made it back.

WWII submarine or in a flying fortress being shot at with flak both would terrify me the most in the context of "war" i think.

a German infantry regiment at the time of the invasion of the Soviet Union had about 3,000 troops. So by the end of the war there were German infantry regiments that had taken 27,000 casualties. Meaning that replacements sent to the regiment were constantly becoming casualties.

My best friends brother went down with the Scorpion in 1968.

USS Scorpion (SSN-589) was a Skipjack-class nuclear powered submarine that served in the United States Navy and the sixth vessel, and second submarine, of the U.S. Navy to carry that name. Scorpion was lost with her entire 99-person crew on 22 May 1968. She is one of two nuclear submarines the U.S. Navy has lost, the other being USS Thresher. It was one of the four mysterious submarine disappearances in 1968, the others being the Israeli submarine INS Dakar, the French submarine Minerve, and the Soviet submarine K-129.
