indiaciki Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) War is hell and you sometimes can't choose the side your fightig for. Still, I think of all the pilots as legends and have the utmost respect for german pilots. They were the best by far. As for Condor...

1./JG42Nephris Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Met him several years and asked him to sign his book. Ashame but I guess all those old tough guys from those times are leaving to the great army now.

indiaciki Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 I jugde politicians. I do not judge soldiers... especially not Luftwaffe pilots. They showed real greatness both for skill and bravery and for opposition to superiours on many occasions.

Leaf Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) wow thats my hometown and i never even heard about this man...need to get his book asap I almost pity you for living in Chemnitz. Wonderful city, but semi-derelict. A real shame. As is Guenther Scholz's death. Edited November 1, 2014 by 19te.Leaf
