I honestly can't imagine.



WW1 was the most brutal of wars at its time with Trench Warfare, charging into machine gun fire across no mans land to gain a small distance, while disease ate you alive.


As much as we talk about the advent of the mobility war in WW2, at the end of the day seaborne invasions were just an extended version of trench war far. The Canadians, and this was badly phrased, were lucky on Juno as the German defenses were stretched and the opposition was considered to be light compared to other beaches, however crossing a heavily defended beach, running into machine fun fire and artillary is still such a crazy concept to me.



The other wars like Korea and Vietnam were brutal for different reasons, but WW1 and WW2 were literally death factories with strategies and concepts that are so alien to mans base instinct of self preservation.
