Re: USAF pilots of german descent
My father, Don Koch, was a P-38 pilot with the 474th FG. His grandparents emigrated from Hardheim, Germany in the late 1800's. After he was shot down on 25 Aug 44, his German interrogators questioned him profusely on how a person of German descent could fight against his homeland. Needless to say, my father had no qualms about killing Germans back then.
Cheers, Gary Koch
