Re: WW2 Which job would be most dangerous?
Radio men actually had it very bad. All sides had standing orders to take them out. Snipers looked for them, and air and artillery strikes would actually be directed onto radio men.
Flamethrower operators are often seen as having had a terribly dangerous job, but flamethrowers didn't explode that often when hit, and the fear and hate directed at them that supposedly got them killed in greater numbers isn't really something borne out by casualty figures.
