Well, depending on the sitting president, it could be "Whine Cellar Guard!"

How right you are. Old vet here in town came from a family that ran a typewriter repair business. This guy had been fixing typewriters since he was a kid and could type like a demon. He was "too valuable" to be posted to combat and spent the entire war in the US. No officer would part with him;)

Finnish Army, I would be the idiot traitor and assasinate Mannerheim

I would be drafted for the artillery in Varde, Denmark.

My granddad was there when Denmark was invaded on 9 April 1940. Problem was, he had only been drafted on 8 April, so they sent him home with his uniform. Came in handy when cloth was rationed later in the war.

After that, Id probably join the resistance in, say, April 1945, just to get bragging rights :-)

That said, there is a series running on Danish television these days about the members of the resistance that came in charge of liquidating snitches. What is really interesting (other than their stories, of course) is, that these perfectly ordinary granddad-types that you wouldnt be able to pick out from any group of old guys have been at it shooting people in cold blood. One even still had his machinegun in the closet, I guess if the nazis should ever try to come again. And this guy is like EIGHTY!!!

Boggles the mind.

Henrik

PS. One thing that I find peculiar about old members of the resistance (both in my family and elsewhere) is, that they are quite reluctant to tell anything about it. Some refuse to do so outright. Must have been hell.

Since I learned a bit of english, something like intelligence might be adaquate. I'm also not too bad a typing, so I guess I'd be well away from the russian front

US Army Women's Auxilary Corps, I am a lesbian trapped in a man's body. If I was feeling foolish, very common for me, I would probabably volunter for the Marines, Airborne, or Rangers. Who can resist the chance to die with the best?
