Would you go back in time to fight in WWII, if you knew you couldn't die?

[Vuljatar]

No. Besides the emotional and psychological trauma, I would be afraid of changing the timeline.

 

[Jezzascmezza]

I'd just go in and shoot up everyone Terminator style.
If I couldn't die, I don't really see what there is to lose.

 

[Angerwing]

If it would change time I would. I would go, and I would tell the higher ups where all the Death Camps and Concentration Camps are. I would tell them about the atrocities committed against civilians by the Nazis, and I would save thousands, at the very least.

Otherwise, no. I would only go if I could make a significant difference to people. If I was just a soldier I would just be murdering kids who got caught up in international politics.

 

[YouCallMeNighthawk]

Snip

Yeah i would go back and join vasily zaytsev in the hunt for German Officers

 

[HuntrRose]

you'd come back without any physical trauma, but unless you'd instantly forget the whole experience, making it worthless, you'd still have the psychological trauma to cope with. In other words No! I would not go!

 

[PurpleSky]

F--- Yeah.

Does that mean that bullets will not hit you?I'd go as a ninja then.

 

[Deadlock Radium]

Actually I think someone has done this ("go back in time to fight in WW2"-thing), and I got evidence: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Churchill

I mean, he fought with SWORD and BOW & ARROW in WW2, played bagpipes and got captured by Germans, survived, then later on became a surfer

I mentioned this in an other thread; He was the only one to kill someone with a bow and arrow in WW2.
Ultimate badassery.

OT: I don't know, if I'd make a difference, yes, if not, no.

 

[Kwaren]

I would go as a fighter pilot.

 

[zhoominator]

Oh, yes. Unkillable? I think it's time to fuck up history! Get nuclear weapons built early, end the war and have MY name slapped everywhere as the greatest villain in history!

MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

Fuck yes. I would also run in spraying bullets everywhere shoot 'em up action movie style. If there's a guarantee I won't die or lose body parts there would be pretty much no reason to exercise any digression. I could make a legend out of myself.

 

[Mozza444]

I would love to do that.
If i couldn't die, the first thing i would do is join the army.

 

[Sir Kemper]

My human side want's to say no, As I don't want to experiance what was once considered one of the most brutal wars, however, My brain is telling me to do it, mainly becuase of the once in a life time experiance.

I'm unsure...


Dammnit PimpPeter, why must you always make my emotions and my brain fight it out!

 

[minimacker]

Fuck yeah, I'd just walk like the terminator into Berlin, barge down the door to his office and beat him up. Bully style.

"Get outta' mah planet, boy!"

 

[rabidmidget]

If I did so, wouldn't I remove several people from existence who are descendants of the people I kill, who have had nothing to do with their ancestor's war crimes?

If so, then yes

EDIT: I wonder if I could stop them from being complete dicks to Alan Turing?

 

[Andsre]

Fully limbed and alive, and as soon as the war ends you come back to your time without any disruption in time.

What's the point then? If nothing will be changed, it will be nothing more than a dream.

 

[Carlston]

If you went, and came back...

PTSD nothing, you'd have a god complex...

After all that, you'd think you were invincable and good chances the first time your life was threatened on return you would still have the same, Ground Hog day it don't matter if I die i'll just get right back up...

 

[SuccessAndBiscuts]

wizard/gene/sexslave/communist/mage

How the fuck did you guess my job description?

On topic: I would go back and fly for the RAF in the battle of Britain. Cause that would be awesomesauce. This quote from an interview I saw years ago.

How would you describe flying the Spitfire?

Like dancing with the most beautiful girl in the world.

 

[Daniel_Rosamilia]

*cough**cough* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GodwinsLawOfTimeTravel]

OT: I'd tell that wizzard/gene/sexslave/communist/mage to do something with his life other than give a complete stranger a weird scenario.

JESUS CHRIST TOM!
Warn us before linking to TvTropes!!!
You should know by now!

But back on topic: I would,just for the fact that I could go back and meet some seriously badass Aussie soldiers.
Oh, and slap Hitler in the face.
Now THAT would be fun, considering they can't do shit.

 

[Gigano]

Sure thing.

Given that it's the last (and perhaps only) war to ever have a clear distinction between right and wrong, I'd pretty much be obligated to lend a hand when there was no risk of any lasting consequenses for me. I probably wouldn't make much of a difference (though frontline soldier + immortality and complete physical wholeness despite any attack does have some potential...), but the expirience alone would be well worth it.
