Except for the Russian front, I would say.
Yeah. Both sides were brutal there.
But then again, it's also where enormous shows of bravery happened. (Such as the men of the 12th German army, fighting right at the end of the war, to get people from Berlin to the Elbe, where they could surrender to the Americans, rather than die at the hands of the Russians. Saved at least 250,000 people, when two and a half million men were bearing down on berlin. Gotta say, they have my respect for that, as they were totally outgunned and outnumbered, but still fought to hold the corridor open.)
