Re: Luftwaffe personnel and Nazi-party membership
Oh well, anybody may quote my text, where I stated that all Germans were NS supporters?
I am waiting.
I stand by what I wrote, Germans of all relligions supported NS regime, including Jewes initially. The support was common and there was practically no movement against, apart of communists but it is no reason for pride. No mass emmigration, no mass protests, nothing aimed at NS regime, elected in free elections and not brought on bayonets.
I cannot say much about Iraq, but look at Russia, plenty of Russians, those who managed to, emmigrated. Look at those famous names in aviation: Galitzine, Kartvelli, Rozanoff, Seversky, Sikorski and many, many more. There were thousands of them who escaped, often they changed their names, so you do not recognise a Russian in eg. Richard Marner, ex-RAF, who played a character of a certain Colonel in a certain TV series.
Comparison to Poland is even more a nonsense. Large partisan units were finally defeated in the late 1940s but minor ones continued combat up until 1957. The last Polish partisan was killed in combat in 1963! There were mass protests in 1956, 1970, 1976 and 1980. Marius, when have you left Kattowitz (as you presumably preffer to call Katowice) that you managed to forget it?
Do we have anything like that in NSGermany? No. If there were some opposing groups, they quickly dissapeared because they had no support in the society. It was perfectly OK when Germany bombed Warsaw, Rotterdam, Coventry, Belgrade. It was perfectly OK when Gypsies, Jewes, Poles were mass murdered (they knew it and there are documents supporting it). It became not OK when Germany started to lose the war, then Stauffenberg appeared (it is worthy to have a closer look at their political goals). But it was too late, at the time Germany lost the war, that was started by the Germany.
Then, post-war, every German was against the Hitler, and now the one may have impression the Germans were actual victims of the war. Ridiculous.
