Zombies

The ones I've talked to that have the greatest resentment are the ones who fought in The Schelt battles. They said there were many cooks, typists etc killed because they didn't know how to..../...(and the Zombies who chose not to fight had the training)There was a severe shortage of Canadian infantry by that stage and the fighting was very heavy. Guys I've talked to said the fighting on D-Day was not nearly as hard or long as it was during the Leopold Canal battle.....and these guys were on the first wave at Juno.
I guess seeing men killed, that shouldn't have been there is why they feel so strongly.

Hi REGINA:

I think that if I were fighting over there because I chose to, and seeing and knowing that there were trained men "at home because they chose not to fight while those with no skill and training in weapons were victims and everyone suffered due to lack of enough force-power" that it would be impossible for me to NOT feel a deep and bitter sense of betrayal and as deep and harsh a sense of resentment.

I have a QUESTION that I'd really like someone to answer for me if they can and will:

If a person wanted to fight overseas in WW2 but had flat-feet, WOULD they have been denied overseas and action duty AND would they be given tasks "at home" and be allowed to "up their rank as they went" if qualified? (It's important for me to have a real answer for this one, so I hope I can get an answer

Thanks: Carman
