I wouldn't say the worst nah they turn you into red mist and then its all over (the place) at least you don't have to carry the burden of dying slow and in pain wishing for instant death
I would imagine that being issued a Trenchgun was worse than being a regular soldier. The Germans flat out told every country that they would kill anyone found with shotgun shells, let alone a Trench gun, in the absolute worst way possible. The same people who were deploying chemical weapons were crying about the "inhumanity" of using a shotgun on a soldier.
@@silverplays871 You say that, but I somewhat doubt you've ever been laying in mud with your intestines hanging out. Depends on the circumstance as to whether I'd be okay dying alone or not.
@@apokalypstapes Stuck in a hot, cramped and tight metal box with barely any room to move while you're waiting for HEAT shells to send shrapnel across the entire crew compartment? No, not even close to being a good job.
What was the survival rate for those who served in the engineering spaces on ships that were fatally hit? Seems being deep in the ship would lower the chances of survival.
World war stories can never stop to fascinate me, inspire me, make me sad, make me rethink my actions in my life - and now I have found the perfect channel where I can get all the stories about War. Thank You.
My Grandfather served as a stretcher bearer in WW1, and was only wounded once. He returned to the sea in 1920 and worked on the cross Atlantic Liners as a First Class cabin Steward up to 1939. Having seen what had happened in 1914-18 he immediately left a well paid job to work as a War Reserve Policeman in Southampton. He was lucky to survive an air-raid in 1940 when the Copper on the next beat was simply vapourised by a direct hit. My father being a young bored artilleryman (1940) volunteered to become a DEMS gunner, (Defensively Armed Merchant Ship) and spent some years at sea on Merchant Ships. He was on a ship that was torpedoed during the Battle of the Atlantic, most of his gun crew (Soldiers) died. Of his initial Dems gunner unit he was one of the few survivors, so many Military personnel need to be added to the figures in the video. It was on survivors leave that my father met my mother, the rest is history.
ayyyy, I'm in the merchant navy, the merchant marines. More merchant marines died during WWII than US Navy sailors. Rest easy shipmates, we've got the watch.
My great-grandfather was a US Merchant Marine on a ship that transported fuel. He was the ships medic and accountant. He says it was very dangerous as he was a prime target of german U-Boats and a single ignition of the fuel would cause the ship to explode leaving no survivors. He once recalled seeing a torpedo scrapping the side of the ship but it wasn't it at the right angle to detonate and it harmlessly scrapped of the hull.
It amazes me how brave merchant sailors were after watching mustards video on how these ships were built i have respect, they were slow and weak and would sometimes literally break in half by waves, if you were serve in the merchant job from 1939-45 you were pretty much 99% guaranteed to die or seriously injured
My great-grandfather was stretcher-bearer during WWII, since strangely enough musicians were automatically assigned this role, at least in the French army. And yes, the job was no joke
@@aukafka8500 I did some research and apparently (what I found was in WWI bit I guess the same logic was for WWII) the musicians were attached to the troops but we're out of it (a bit like cooks for example). So when their unit didn't fight (for example when they were relocated to a new theater of operations) they played music (like march songs, the national anthem and all that) and when their unit was fighting they had kind of a support role but were not directly fighting : they were stretcher bearers
I’m sure this could be argued against but what about American Tanker crews in M4 Shermans during the Battle of Normandy and the push to Berlin as referenced in Adam Makos’ book, ‘Spearhead,’ or maybe even the 320 Anti-Aircraft Barrage Balloon Battalion charged with raising hydrogen-filled balloons over the beaches during D-Day that could blow up if shot by enemy aircraft.
My grandfather was a gunner (more of an anti air gunner) in the British merchant Navy during WW2, he only talks about the funny times (shore leave, time off duty etc) but has never spoken about the horrors of battle which is completely understandable. It would be hard to imagine the fear of battle in a situation like this or any situation in war.
Here is one of the worst jobs of WW2, in North Africa British forces used Matilda flail tanks to clean minefields. But the flail was powered by separate engine outside tank and one crew member had to sit next to running hot engine in the metal box in desert of north Africa. Cant even imagine the heat inside that.
My great grandfather was part of an elite squad of the Italian navy. He had to defuse sea mines for ships. He was missing in El Alamain for 6 years and managed to escape an execution. A few years ago a film was released about their department (Storia degli uomini che volevano bruciare New York), they had a secret plan where they had to leave Italy with submarines to undermine the bay of new york. My father told me that he always had nighmares of the war.
The Front if I could offer a suggestion, I do not know I’d this would count, but how about being a spotter in an observation balloon. I’ve heard two stories about Ballons having to fend off enemies. One of which was shot down by one of the first tanks in combat. I encourage you to watch Greatest Tank Battles “The Great War” for that information. Cheers!
@@bdog2802 absolutely wrong, most men who died in soviet penal battalions weren't killed by sheer evil or something. They died because they were in a fight for the survival of their nation, lead by incompetent young officers and a paranoid maniac. Soviet Soldiers on the ground didn't try to put penal battalions in any worse position than other nations and no nation saw penal units as "meat for the grinder"
Radio Operator any war, Vietnam for example, having to walk through the jungle with a transmitter, battery pack, and giant antenna definitely made you a prime target as you were the one to make any call for artillery, reinforcements, or evacuation.
Along the lines of stretcher bearers, there were infantry medics and Navy Corpsmen with Marine units. While everyone else might be laying prone, the "Doc" was up trying to get to the wounded infantryman. I know that U.S. Navy Corpsmen received a goodly number of Medals of Honor while serving with Marine units in WWII.
My father worked with the bloke seen in the Belsen film clips bulldozing corpses into mass graves. He was just 18 at the time, he said he could still smell the camp in the 70s if he closed his eyes. That was a shitty job by any standard... Got the George Cross during Korea for, in his words, "Going nuts in a tank..."
I didnt expect merchant navy to be on the list. My great uncle was a British merchant sailor who was sunk FOUR TIMES during the war. Persistent SOB. He said the worst part about getting sunk was he didn't get paid.
The thing not mentioned about merchant marine that I would hate is the uncertainty. Whether day or night a torpedo might blow up your ship at any moment without any warning. Yet for days nothing would happen at all, and they must have made dozens of such cross-atlantic trips during the war.
Not a stretcher or "litter barrer" but check out a WWII soldier named Desmond Doss, who fought all of the war, without using, or carrying a weapon. It's an unbelievable story. The movie Hacksaw Ridge is based on his story
You should have also put M4 Sherman tank crews they had a higher mortality rate than any other tank in the battlefield some guys even called them "Rolling Ovens" because when they got hit buy panzers or tigers the tank would burst into flames and almost all the crew died
Actually, no they did not. M4 Shermans actually had the highest Crew survival rate of any tank of any nation of WWII except the Churchill. In US service Armoured Force sustained around 3% killed in action, which is a very LOW KIA rate for a teeth arm like armour. In fact, in ALL theatres for the entire war the US Armoured Force sustained 6827 total casualties with 1581 of those killed. The actual figure in both cases is somewhat higher as officers were usually commissioned into Infantry or Cavalry first so sually officer casualties are listed by their first Branch. Myth: The M4 brewed up as soon as it was hit. False. Initial M4's had issues with fire but that was not to do with the fuel but the ammunition storage. Water/glycol wet stowage for the ammunition solved this problem. While tanks did bur the M4 was no more likely to burn than any other tank of the day. Fires only tended to start after multiple hits, but multiplehits were common because tankers and AA gunners of the day would often keep engaging a vehicle UNTIL it brewed up because then your were DAMNED sure that vehicle was no longer a threat. M4's had one critical feature that made them surviveable relatively speaking. Nice, big, wide escape hatches. They were designed that way after feedback, designed so a tanker in full winter gear could still get out of a disabled tank quickly and without getting stuck or snagged. Most of the Sherman myths come from Belton Y Coopers Death Traps, and its been pretty much completely discredited. I quote: As a memoir, it is meandering and repetitive, far too often wandering away from the authors personal experiences into the realm of speculation. As a history it is lacking, containing no end notes, foot notes or bibliography. And finally, as an indictment of the M4 Sherman tank, the book is filled with so many factual errors and outright falsehoods, it cannot be taken seriously on this count either.
My grandfather started out as a stretcher man. One guy he was carrying wanted a cigarette, so they got one off another soldier and and gave it to him, but he spat it out, saying that he only smoked roll your own. They asked around and found somebody with tobacco, rolled a cigarette, and the guy took one puff then died.
i feel it is insane that we don't learn about this in school. Soo many people gave everything for our freedom and I feel it is disrespectful to those who went through hell, that we don't know about the terrors they had to wade through. thanks for the enlightenment.
Hey the Front can you make a video series the contribution of each Asian nations in the war and the battles that many people forgot about in the battle of pacific theater.
Japanese Engineer: So we placed this escape hatch to give the pilot of the torpedo the chance to bail out at the last second or evacuate in case of danger... Japanese Inspector:... Engineer:... Inspector: AHAHAHAHAHahah, dude that a good joke, i'm going to cry of laughters you know? Didn't know you were a comedian. Engineer: What are you talking about?
Graves registration service and explosive ordinance disposal would be pretty bad. Forward medical staff addressing injuries as they happened would be horrific like an aid station or a MASH unit or medics.
my maternal grandfather, being a bandsman, was a stretcher-bearer during WW2. In has last days, he showed clear signs of shell shock. His best friend had died in his arms. God rest his soul
Best jobs of WW2 video sounds fantastic. Not a list of the best jobs based on how easy the job was or what jobs has the lowest fatality rate, but possibly a list of what might a good contender for each type of criteria. Least dangerous, most pleasant, most interesting, most impactful for an individual to contribute, most creative.. Things such as that, especially if they're lesser-known roles. Prototype armoured vehicle designer? Propagandist? Code breaker? Wargaming strategy planner? Valet for senior leadership? Food taster for poisoning? What the "best" jobs might be would be incredibly subjective, so breaking it down to giving an exemplary job role from various categories sounds interesting. We can pull up plenty of generic desk jobs or safe home front spots, but there's also plenty of obscure roles out there.
I was a bit surprised that the snipers were in, but understandable after that information. I would like a video about the best job roles, anyway an amazing channel, got interesting stuff for my favourite topic with a calm voice.
0:47 Every Italian had to stop for a sec and laugh cuz that MAIALE pronunciation was so funny. Also cuz the word MAIALE literally means PIG and I wasn't expecting it, so I was like reading "MAIALE??" while you pronounced it ahah.
The worst part of these jobs is that most of them were those of people had nothing to even fight back with and had to put themselves in the firing line worse than anyone for the greatest need, like the merchant marine or the stretcher bearer above, and thanks for pointing this out.
I loved the last 1 you did and the ball turrets was the worst in 1 instant an American pilot was trapped in the ball turret the landing gear wasn't going done and the turret hatch wouldn't open so he was killed instantly.
I would say being a advanced medic on the battlefield is a pretty bad job. Like My grandfather was a Advanced Medic during the Korean War and he saw a lot of messed-up stuff. He saw people getting shot and someone's getting completely ripped off. But I'm pretty sure every job in war is difficult
Wow! What an amazing channel, I'm going to subscribe! Keep it up!

I can safely assume the kriegsmarine had the n-word pass
No wonder they got the upper hand earlier on
Then they started mass producing the n pass and the kriegsmarine was discontinued
But in that case it was the last name of its inventor so he had the N-Word pass
Rasyiq M Hanif not really a funny joke tbh could’ve done better
Die Kriegsmarine
ZiepexGamer lighten up I doubt you could’ve done better
The stretcher-bearer who picked up my grandad after he was wounded was his neighbor.
That must have been a fun conversation on the to the medic tent
That must have been a hard job.
What a small world!
This sounds like a cap
@@dhanleealterado4318 ok and?
Even if the man on the stretcher died, the bearers job was not done in vain. They ensured that man did not die alone.
Or that they wouldnt be mutilated by the Japanese in case of a retreat.
I choose die alone. Daying not alone is over rated
@@silverplays871 You say that, but I somewhat doubt you've ever been laying in mud with your intestines hanging out. Depends on the circumstance as to whether I'd be okay dying alone or not.
Also its sometimes so hard to tell, you kinda have to go for it to at least TRY it.

imagine yelling out n-word in fear as the torpedo approached your vessel.
I feel like being a spy is a pretty awful job. Being behind enemy lines, one slip up, one word miss pronounced. That could lead to torture and death.
Great to see you include the merchant navy in this list. My granduncle was torpedoed three times during the war, and it tooks it's toll on him
Happy to see that Stretcher Bearers were on this list, I was one of the people who recommended it on The Front discord.

I was a bit surprised that the snipers were in, but understandable after that information. I would like a video about the best job roles, anyway an amazing channel, got interesting stuff for my favourite topic with a calm voice.
0:47 Every Italian had to stop for a sec and laugh cuz that MAIALE pronunciation was so funny. Also cuz the word MAIALE literally means PIG and I wasn't expecting it, so I was like reading "MAIALE??" while you pronounced it ahah.
The worst part of these jobs is that most of them were those of people had nothing to even fight back with and had to put themselves in the firing line worse than anyone for the greatest need, like the merchant marine or the stretcher bearer above, and thanks for pointing this out.
Love your channel bro
Imagine dying in the Kaiten tutorial phase.
Do you have a video on tank crews? Or about using enemy weaponry?
Nice, i told one of these fact to my History Teacher, and he was pretty surprised to hear that.
The human torpedoes are the underwater kamakazie my respect ✊🏻
I heard of a german who fought for the allies who had to do signs until the end of the war and said it was deppressing
Awesome video.
Im sorry, but Im laughing Incrediblly Hard..
Just Imagining a person Being shot at a Ship as a Torp and Just bouncing off
*boink*
@@freaky_steve69 Exactly!
For a WW1 video: placing or cutting barbed wire in no man's land.
I loved the last 1 you did and the ball turrets was the worst in 1 instant an American pilot was trapped in the ball turret the landing gear wasn't going done and the turret hatch wouldn't open so he was killed instantly.
"The worst role in any war is being a soldier of any type or rank."
-Me just fucking now
Very interesting content.
Best job in WW2 is the same as in every war: logistics guy without loyalty and a brain for math
A best jobs of the war video would be great.
In the Merchant Marine/Navy, Engineer had to be the worst position. Their chances for survival were not very good.
nice video bro
Snipin's a good job mate
Can you make a video about operation Anthropoid? I believe it is an interesting topic.
Thank you so much! Subbed :-)
I would say being a advanced medic on the battlefield is a pretty bad job. Like My grandfather was a Advanced Medic during the Korean War and he saw a lot of messed-up stuff. He saw people getting shot and someone's getting completely ripped off. But I'm pretty sure every job in war is difficult
