I'd think to try to smell the Japanese who were hiding in tunnels and whatnot. Not too sure what the germans had them for. I know pilots regularly had pets at the air bases.
My uncle was a medic in Europe. He's got some great stories about this guy in his unit that found a Shepard at an abandoned SS head quarters. He was the only person the dog liked in their whole unit. _________________ |ax| Graphics Guy/Admin | PM | blog | flickr | twitter | arsmorendi [at] gmail.com ![]() Become a Premium Member and reserve your slot today for the AX-BAS server..

Unrelated to WWII, but highly recommended is "Good to Go" by Harry Constance, veitnam SEAL extrordinar who did some dog handling as well with a German Sheppard. Might be suprised how effect the dog was, when it was dry enough to use.

I wouldn't wanna be the one to jump into that fox hole accidentally. You're get a mouthful of hurt.

at least the WW2 war dogs were brought home, and many spent the remiander of their lives as pets for their handlers. Whats really sad is this "equipment" mentality remained and most of the "equipment" used in Vietnam was euthanized upon the US pull-out to prevent them from being used by the NVA
