Jewish airmen in WWII

[Franek Grabowski]

Let me remind you that most recent antisemitic incidents took place in France not long ago. They were so strong, Israelis suggested best choice is to leave the country. France is neither German, Soviet or religious country. Just aside.
Anyway, yes, I think religion is important, see the recent discussions about euroconstitution for example. Religion was also used as an argument in case of certain ace called Moelders. I do not mention national issues, which still cause white hot discussions.
You ask if it is important what pilots believed in. Yes it is. It is because they are treated like heroes. I simply cannot accept a view of 'decent people and brave soldiers' like Rudel or Galland having in mind German behaviour here in Poland. They knew perfectly well, what is going here but it did not influence them in any way. The only difference between Rudel and Galland is that the latter turned views after the war and created himself as a great oppositionist.
I do not want to generalise, therefore I reply on those two particular airmen. But I have a general question for your statement about Jews being good guys. Are Jews fighting in German forces during WWII good guys? Are Jews fighting in the Red Army good guys? Are Jews who deserted from the Polish army in Palestine and started terroristic attacks on British good guys too? I think it is too complicated for such a general statement.
Finally, on the background of my question. Over last few years I have seen several publications on the subject but mostly sloppy and fragmentary. Seeing that a lot of this is some sort of wishful thinking I just wanted to learn something new. I see my hopes were in vain, however.
