I was just watching a documentary on D-Day, holy mother fucker, the German machine guns in the pill boxes on the top of the bluffs. An AR-15 looks at them and says, "I need to speed up a bit." How the fuck anyone survived that.
And the amphibious armored tanks they sent ashore, if you were the guy inside, you were pretty much fucked because the majority of tanks didn't make it. Pre-testing in calm waters they worked, but the waves that day were high and breached the canvas meant to keep them afloat. They were meant to act as cover for the soldiers but many sank before they could get ashore.
And yes I know Armistice Day was WW1 and D-Day was WW2. But still, how anybody survived either with out some severe PTSD.
