You are both wrong. If you are looking for a platoon of superbly trained, highly motivated, tough, uncompromising elite troops then look no further than these guys. Be afraid Mr Hitler...be very afraid

The best soldiers in WWII were Marlene Dietrich and all the USO frontline entertainers.
During two extended tours for the USO in 1944 and 1945, she performed for Allied troops on the front lines in Algeria, Italy, England and France and went into Germany with Generals James M. Gavin and George S. Patton. When asked why she had done this, in spite of the obvious danger of being within a few kilometres of German lines, she replied, "aus Anstand" — "out of decency".
In 1944, the Morale Operations Branch of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) initiated the Musak project, musical propaganda broadcasts designed to demoralize enemy soldiers. Dietrich, the only performer who was made aware that her recordings would be for OSS use, recorded a number of songs in German for the project, including
Lili Marleen, a favourite of soldiers on both sides of the conflict. William Joseph Donovan, head of the OSS, wrote to Dietrich, "I am personally deeply grateful for your generosity in making these recordings for us."

All discussion should now stop. The obvious answer as to who the best soldiers were---the men I led in the great crusade against the evil red Bolshevik Asiatic subhuman Russians.
I must admit that if it is true that you actually scored that gorgeous Liebchen, then you are most assuredly a choir-boy of renowned repute. [X(]
