War is the H-Word

Melee: I'm going to both of these guys' knives/bayonets right here. The melee weapons of the Dunkirk evacuees are longer, compared to those by the Malmedy survivors, with the one being double-sided. Based on weapons alone, the Dunkirk Evacuees have this. Edge: Dunkirk

Long Range: A semi-auto versus a revolver. This is an old debate, but the Colt 1911 has the extra rounds, and the quicker reload time compared to the Webley. Edge: Malmedy

X-Factors: I will grant that the Dunkirk evacuees had it rough, constantly getting shot at and all, but they did have some relative comforts - such as being able to find a location to do their proverbial business where they didn't have to worry about getting hit. The Malmedy survivors didn't have any creature comforts - they had to survive, and that meant making do with just what they had. Edge: Malmedy

Deadliest Warrior: I will grant that the Dunkirk Evacuees had a tough job - they had to hold off Germany's advance, while trying to evacuate to Great Britain. Thing is, they are still fighting WW1 - the Malmedy Survivors have been fighting WW2 for some time, and have a better understanding of tactics. The Survivors are going to be slightly more hardened by their ordeal, compared to the Evacuees. Winner: Malmedy Survivors
