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

4,400 killed at Normandy, there were battles in WWI that would've had that kind of death toll in a few minutes.
Battle of the Frontiers the French had 27,000 killed in one day.
Battle of the Somme the British had 19,000 killed in one day.
I cannot fathom how bad WWI would have been. Yes, WWII had more deaths but WWI was also 6 years long compared to 4 in WWI and WWII was fought over 3 continents, 4 if you count the attacks on Australia by the Japanese. The scope of the 2nd war was massive.
