Re: Luftwaffe rescue buoys
Sorry, but you would not find a nice Nazi or Commie.
 Certainly there were some decent people worth to remember, but their air force was not, and the air war was just a brute massacre. Most of the stories originate from 1950s or 1960s and I would guess they were part of propaganda policy trying to explain why Western Germany was an ally of NATO. Here, we had stories of brave German anti-faschists fighting arm in arm with the Red Army. The truth is less chivalrous, more complicated but nonetheless still fascinating.
