It's strange in that guys like me really have no idea. Go back those sixty odd years, and people my age and younger were getting sent off to fucking war. I have nothing but respect for those men. In all wars, on every side.
Yes, I said all sides. Because in 9 time out of 10, it was young men being forced to blood the fields under orders from commanders and generals. For me and my ilk, who's hardest decision most days is what to have for breakfast, these men were a different breed.
Not about WW2 (rather Vietnam), but the sentiment is the same IMO.
