Military Would you rather..

I'm a huge fan of history mainly military history. I am also a fan of the defeated most of the time ( Confederate Army or The Wehrmacht in this case). I do not necessarily agree with the Political backings of these armies, but valor none the less was earned for the soldiers of these armies. My question is which army would you have a better of surviving in if you were to be in the Confederate Army from 1864 through eventual surrender in April of 1865 or the German Wehrmacht after the invasion in Normandy (You could be on the Eastern front fighting the Russians) from 1944-1945? Just a what if and was wondering opinions and takes. Thanks.

Confederates easily

All Civil War veterans are dead so you'd have a better chance surviving if you were a Wehrmacht veteran today.

Just talking surviving and trying to fight till the end, no desserting or getting captured, just purely surviving.... I think the Confederate army would be easier because seriously they had an army to surrender, in Berlin the German people fought to the end. Women, children and old men were fighting. There was no army left.

A lot of yankee soldiers still saw us as fellow countrymen and didn't want to eradicate us. The Russians absolutely hated the Germans and wanted to wipe them out. Plus the Nazis who survived and didn't escape to South America had to deal with war crimes tribunals.

You could survive as a Confederate simply by weather alone.
