To be a Nazi you first had to be in the Nazi Party, Galland was never a Nazi Party member, he was however German, which is why he fought on the German side.Simple really.

Adolf Galland was an exelent fighter pilot

@bill24777 You are wrong. It was the WSS sci that made a 1st nuke. They tested it in Nov of 44' on a small island in the Baltic. It was NAZI nuke triggers that the US used in there nukes to hit the Japs - those smart Jews could not make a trigger. Germans did. They also had 1,000 of tons of gas. Much of this gas, no other nation had. Why did they not use it either? They could have WON on D-Day if they had shelled the beach with gas... You're point is invalid. LO)

@brentano2277 ______they where simply soliders doing their jobs to protect their familys and country

My congratulations sir, you are a good person and excelent fighter, un caballero del aire.

Galland was a professional and, indeed, one of the best of the war. He was a leading mind in the development of the dive bomber arm and could well have spent the war as a Stuka rather than fighter pilot. He was also one of the elite few chosen to fly the Me 262 and tried (unsuccessfully) to persuade Erich Hartmann (you need to ask who?) to move to the Me 262. I don't love these guys but I admire what they achieved as professionals. Wider comments about war and politics seem irrelevant to me.

I know this is very good achievment, but I think if Poland had not won battle of Vienna, German people would now same % of Turks in country, but your official language would be Turkish :) HF with this.

[brentano2277]

@bill24777 That's a fair assessment, and understandable given the circumstances, but I don't believe Galland was a war criminal, in fact Allied Airmen who came in contact with him spoke highly of him, not to mention Douglas Bader.

Goering most certainly was a criminal, but not many Luftwaffe personnel were.

Once a war starts, unfortunately the clear lines become blurred.

@picosorevive

The only reason Hitler didn't use atomic bombs is simply that he didn't have any.

If he had they would have rained down everywhere. It wasn't for the lack of trying that he had none, whole research facilities were trying their best to develop one.

There was even a bomber designed to drop A-bombs on New York.

Your'e point is invalid.

@brentano2277

No, the ordinary airmen that were forced to fight, the same as the airmen of the countries that were being attacked were forced to fight could not be held responsible for for war crimes.

People that became the organisers of what was after all an attempt to subjugate the world to the policies of the third reich can and should be held responsible.

This opinion may be clouded by both my father and uncle being killed in 1940 as RAF pilots trying to prevent bombers killing us.

@bill24777 I see, so all members of the German armed forces were murderers and should have been hung? I am correct in that summation?
