Re: Jonny Fest - comrade of Heinz Knoke mentioned in "I Flew For the Fuehrer"
hi,
i think first there are german pilots, not all were nazis, like history channel....
About the claims .. some squadrons had bad reputation and some pilots also, now it is possible to verify that cuestion, JG5 overclaims i think 3:1 or + but others are more reliable like JG77 or JG26 not all are liars....
Also other pilots of other countries are liars...see the list of
reliable and overclaimers....
we only speak here about pilots that in and after 2ww were in the right-wing political extremists, luckily there are fewer than I thought with hollywood movies over the years, so I recommend movies like Stalingrad.......
i think itīs not good to discuss political thoughts.....
here in Spain many republicans could not return to Spain until Franco died,
more than 30 years later, i do not understand how people here can defend Franco after all that is known....but i said in Galicia where i live my great uncle would play fight on the side of that dictator, because either they do or they are killed like Republicans, anarchists and communists....
and i say no more
regards
