I would say rear gunner in a Ju 87 Stuka dive bomber was up there.
What is the worst job in the world?

My Dad was an armourer in WW2 - working on bombers
when the plane came back from a mission the first thing was to get all the living crew off
after that everyone stayed away from the plane until the armourers had been on and removed anything that might go bang
In other words any dead crew were still on board
apparently sometime the rear gunners pretty much had to be removed with a hosepipe
being first on to see and have to sort that out seemed a bad part of the job

The worst job Dudley Moore ever had. Most definitely not safe for work or those with a heart condition!

But he was also the radio operator, so at least he got to pick the tunes.

I have to say that any job that involves wiping old people's arses does not appeal. The pay's not that bad, though.

The thing about Stukas was that they were daytime bombers. The gunner had one poxy gun. If he saw a flight of hurricanes, well I suppose he could alert the pilot, who might fly into cloud, or fly into a valley, but if not they had had it. Then he also had to sit back when the pilot starts his dive bomb with the Jericho trumpets blaring.
It used to be minimum wage for a lot of care assistants.
