So whatever happened to his gunner?

[biltongbru]

@nvrsummer2 He was eventually also captured but sent to a non-officer's POW camp.

Fascinating to see how these veterans usually have utmost respect for the soldiers who they were trying to kill....

@Weibkoln

well you got a point here.

[Weibkoln]

@TheSunmanho And patriotism is no honor, patriotism means that you will do everything your nation wants,

and Im not a person that does everything that my country or nation wants me to do,

because Im not gonna shoot people for 10+/- years long inside their own country,

and Im also not gonna kill people when they look like something,

and I also dont kill people with somesort of religion.

If a patriot his country wants him to do that, he just does it with a smile..

And I DO NOT!!!

@TheSunmanho Sweetheart, did you evin read my reply???

A excuse is welcome,

I said that he would not be a killer if there would NOT have been a ww2...

And that it is a polite man with his heart at a good place...

[TheSunmanho]

@Weibkoln

you are a dirty whore. you do not respect your German people's hero. He did not kill "innocent people" he killed British and US-American enemies of his people. Have you no sense of patriotism, no honor?

A wonderful and interesting story! Was extremely impressed with his command of the English language; beautiful grammar! Spent four years in Wiesbaden, Germany; lovely country; lovely people. The Stuka, BF-109, ME-109, and the Fiesler Storch 156 are some of my favorite aircraft. Listening to a Stuka pilot re-living his momentous flight, was impressive. If my wife could travel better, I'd return - Garmisch for sure! :-) Thanks, N-6395T

@elvee88 If there was not a ww2, this man would have lived like a normal human beeing,

without the awefull knowledge, that he once was trowing bombs on others!!!

This is no monster, but a polite man, with a good heart!!!

And if he could bring back all the dead people foe & enemy,

he absolutely would have brought them all back to life!!!

[Weibkoln]

@elvee88 Yeah but it are no murderrers, a murderer 'wants' to kill someone, these men were "forced" by others to kill someone, in order to stay allive!!!

So those bombs they had to trow, was for self-defence...

The most soldiers fighting in Germany have the same reason,

these people defended their citizens, they defended the people who could not carry a weapon.

Some people cant believe this, but it is the trueth.

They were not all monsters that want to gas innocent people!!!

Trust me!!!

А мой дед...в танке сгорел. Так вот. Но и он не полетел бы, если не война.
