The luftwaffe may have been on the wrong side, but no one can deny their bravery.Taking on England Russia and the U.S.A and only stopping when they ran out of oil.

My dad was a 385th BG pilot in 44-45, 37 combat missions and he has nothing but respect for the Luftwaffe fliers. They fought hard & died for their country. Even when the appearance of the Mustang & barely trained pilots spelled almost certain death, the Luftwaffe still came up to fight.

I'm a Marine myself, however you slice it, war is brutal. All sides in any war will ultimately resort to whatever tactics it will take to win, or stave off defeat. Civilians will always die in wars. FACT!

Luftwaffe - The Battle Begins

[littleeira]

@starsunlocked It was the Luftwaffe that started deliberate bombing of the civilian population. The RAF and later USAAF only did to Germany what the Luftwaffe did to Coventry, Guernica, Warsaw etc. Be proud of Bomber command, they flew night after night with a chance of being shot down of 1 in 25 for every trip they flew. Would you have the stomach to do that?

@Lotus2102 ..,so throw pity party assclown.

[Lotus2102]

@fluffy1931 i pity you

[fluffy1931]

@Lotus2102 you are a assclown.

Let just make this really short, you say the allies used terror bombing.

no sources, no facts just your opinion.

being a assclown doesn't mean your german.

[Lotus2102]

@fluffy1931 you are really stupid.

Lets just make this really short, so you can understand it, the allies used terror bombing in an attempt to break civilian morale, in hope it would end the war.

Discussing specific bombing raids seems ineffecient with someone like you.

The germans were evil, but that does not make it right that the allies were evil (sometimes) too.

And no, im not german.

[fluffy1931]

@Lotus2102 so...assclown, since when did Churchill enter into the USAAF chain of command, dumbfuck?

Both the RAF& USAAF bombed Dresden & Germany.

If you would like to argue about the ruined land...argue with germanys conduct towards it's own civilians during the last months of the war ,..
