re: Would you rather have gone “over the top” in WWI or been on the first wave on D-Day?

D-Day for Utah, Juno, Gold or Sword
WWI over the top
D-Day Omaha
Over the top was miserable with a low chance of success but Omaha was a meat grinder.
Relatively speaking, the other four beaches were reasonably quiet with Utah being the quietest due to blind luck, as they all landed in the wrong place which worked out extremely well.

But that meat grinder had less than 10,000 casualties. There are multiple venues in WWI that beat that. I'd still pick Omaha since the death would likely be quick, and if it wasn't and I lived long enough, I could feasibly get decent medical treatment and live a long life. No one was going to come in No Man's Land after you if you were shot there though, and your death was certain and slow.
