Being an infantryman during the Battle of the Somme would probably be the worst job military in history. You were subjected to months of waiting in freezing conditions, up to your ankles in icy water, under constant shelling, amid the stench of rotting corpses, all in a bleak and hellish wasteland. If you weren't sniped, shelled, gassed or crushed by a tank, you could look forward to literally drowning in mud or being torn apart by barbed wire. Brutal doesn't even come close to describing it.

It takes a certain insane level of tyranny and complete disregard of the welfare of your citizens/soldiers to outright ban retreating, it's a completely legitimate strategy and depending on the situation often the best and only choice. Not to mention the atrocities performed by the Red Army in both eastern europe and germany both as they advanced and after the war were unlike anything else. But the USSR were with the allied forces, and as we all know the victors write history which is why it's often overlooked and the germans still get framed as the bad guys in every single aspect of this war. Everyone seems to forget that the USSR randomly decided to invade Finland, the Baltics, etc. Unlike the germans who primarily (you're free to look this up, this is not something taught in history class for obvious reasons) invaded Poland due to german minorities being persecuted by the Polish state in territories that were german pre-WW1, the USSR invaded Poland alongside germany simply for grabbing land.

frysebox1. The Soviet occupiers exterminated the cream of the crop of the Polish military in the Katyn Forest , and for many years the blame was put upon the Germans . To many people under Communist rule the Nazis were originally seen as liberators , but that turned out to be wrong . I have a friend who immigrated to the US from Poland in the 1980s . He is as Anti-Communist as you can find , but he's also as Anti-Nazi as well . My intent was not to glorify the Soviet Red Army , but to slow how ruthless and brutal their doctrine was .
@acceleration4443

frysebox1 That order didn’t mean anything. Russian soldiers were known to retreat a-lot. What made the germans scared of the soviets was that sometimes they would retreat without firing a shot... Other times they would hold until the last man. Also the myth that the NKVD gunning down retreating troops is a hollywood tale. Every army had more than 50,000 men... and the NKVD units that were given to each army to stop “desertions” were around 1500. The NKVD would shoot deserters and arrest men who left their posts. Just like US military police. You should read a book once in a while.

I read something by a Vietnamese about the girl soldiers in the tunnels and the lack of hygiene was another distressing factor for them. If they were caught they were not treated like POWs their lives meant nothing to our allies they would be raped tortured and murdered Yes dreadful war for the young Americans but so much worse for the Viets There is so a deep racial dimension to all this which is obvious always in the comments. Most of you lot cant even begin to see the Viets as human so their suffering is of no matter,

One of the sweetest vets I take care of was a Marine tunnel rat in Vietnam Nam. Goes around and tells high school students what it was really like. But his biggest beef with the movies was he says it always shows them going into the tunnels with the gun drawn. He says that is the stupidest thing ever. If you shoot then you just let everyone know where you are. If they shoot at you, different story. Then he said the thing that really got me. You go in with your knife. Everyone I killed was hand to hand with my knife. My nurse who was also infantry in Iraq and Afghanistan and myself just looked at each other like.....DAMN. Some of the bad ass guys I have met.

My father-in-law was a TC on a Sherman tank in Guam with the Marines. He used to tell me about the nutjobs driving the flamethrower tanks! He said they were absolute lunatics, with napalm or whatever leaking all over the vehicle! You could smell them, he'd say! It always interested me that he never talked details of his wartime experience to anyone but me. Not even his wife or kids... I think it irritates them a bit but oh well. They did get to go with him for the 60th(?) anniversary of the Guam invasion and he showed them where he remembered landing etc, but never the combat details! I met my wife, his daughter, right after I got out of the Army, and I think that might be why. What he told me, were the gruesome first-hand details, and boy, you better believe they were frightening! Coming from one who never exaggerated a thing in his life! He was the most composed person I ever met and I'm beyond sad that he's checked out now! Sah-lute!! He was cool, man... just cool. I miss you, George!

If your place gets shot down, has to make an emergency landing, or if the landing gear doesn't work, you have a 0% chance of survival as there'd be no way for you to leave the ball turret, which stuck out like a tumor on the bottom of the plane. It was the most dangerous job in one of the most dangerous parts of the American military.

Also most soldiers, even nowadays dont get to always choose the position they are put into. You are at the mercy of higher ups

Okay, two things so far with this video. The gas mentioned in this video during the tunnel rat section was tear gas, despite the fact that the creator makes it sound like we used something more deadly. The more deadly thing for people in the tunnel systems would be smoke from napalm burning above them. Except for maybe early flamethrowers, a flamethrower would not explode in a blaze if hit by a bullet, that's all Hollywood nonsense. US M2 flamethrowers, for example, used diesel and later napalm, which are less volatile than gasoline for example. The tanks were also pressurized with nitrogen, no there's no oxygen in the tank at all. Even if they did use gasoline and tanks pressurized with oxygen, you'd still need an incendiary bullet to make that thing for up in flames. Now, what was dangerous was if the pressure bottle on the flamethrower was hit, that would explode like a grenade, but there wouldn't be any flames. Sorry for any grammar mistakes here, kind of exhausted from a stomach bug.

For the record, the US hasn't used traditional flamethrowers since 1978 because something better came along, the M202 FLASH incendiary rocket launcher. More effective, safer for the operator, greater range, and easier to transport ammo for. We still maintain a stockpile of them, although to my knowledge they aren't actively trained on anymore due to the realities of low-intensity conflicts that we've been involved in lately.

@@aaronharrison5012 Flamethrower use is not considered a war crime, unless in civilian areas. To my knowledge, it is now more common to use thermobaric weapons (e.g. fuel air bombs) that flamethrowers would previously be used in because they are simply much more effective. It's not that such weapons are banned, it's that they aren't that great. If you can carry a tank of napalm that will likely get you shot and can probably take out one fortification on a tank, or a couple rockets or bombs that each can take one out and could be carried with a rifle, or at least not weigh as much in addition to being much less likely to get you killed, what would you choose?

@@randomname4950 no. Flamethrowers are banned along with napalm and white phosphorus. Because the ban is placed on open flames and chemical reactions and is under the same ban as chemical weapons, non detectable fragments and land mines.

I know that thermobaric weapons work differently from napalm as they are explosives rather than incendiaries, however, they fill the same purpose. The convention banning non-detectable fragments is not the same as the ban on chemical weapons. It is specifically in reference to conventional weapons. Under the Protocol on Prohibitions or Restrictions on the use of Incendiary Weapons, it is not stated that they are disallowed in warfare, only disallowed on 1. Targets with a high amount of civilians or 2. Plant life not known or suspected to conceal combatants. EDIT: Also, not all bunker busters are thermobaric, but a lot are, so whatever.

Except for that small little detail where in case you were retreating as common soldier you would be marked as coward and thus send to the penal battalion. And that was happening during the whole war, even before the order itself. During initial German offensive many Russian units were wiped out not only thanks to bein totally unprepared but also because they werent allowed to retreat and instead had to fight a superior enemy while bein undersupplied and often without commanding structure thanks to Stalinist Purge.
