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

I’m grasping the question. And I still say I’d rather go in on the first wave of D-Day than go over the top in WWI. Just look at the casualty rates from similar major battles from WWI like the Somme and Verdun compared to D-Day. The casualty rates of those WWI battles were far and away in a whole other scale compared to D-Day.

If you dont choose D-Day you;re an idiot.
It was not uncommon for charges over the top to experience 100% casualty.
its absurd. Add in the gas attacks, artillery shelling, and helllish living conditions...
I'll take Omaha beach first wave over that.
