Hiroshima, August 6, 1945. Heard it was a bad day...
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.
An early Christian in the Roman Empire
Yea that was a widow maker.
there were German infantry regiments on the East Front that took over 900% casualties
Ok, explain this to me like I am Joe Biden. Did the Russians kill them all 9 times?
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.
Yea, that sucks. If still go with not being in an area of a nuclear bomb though.
Especially if you survived and not instantly vaporized.
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.
