And you know what the Royal Airforce did to Dresden etc.? So, this were bad times on both sides and I think it is time not to accuse Germans nowadays (also not the soldiers.) As you mentioned it is 60 years ago. Keep in mind, British bombers are flying attacks against (sometimes not so) innocent Iraqi people. In my oppinion, you have to look forward and not backwards all the time. Have you been directly involved in German attacks during the WWII? I guess not.
I don't know either why he choosed this. I wouldn't cause it is too aggressive for me in general but please stop complaining about WWII all the time.
Don't get me wrong, I don't want to forget about it cause so much families have had to suffer by the consequences and it was and still is horrible but there have been several black points in the history of any european country.

Very childish. Luftwaffe means Airforce, nothing more nothing less. It never has been a political or ideological institution like the Gestapo (Geheime Staats Polizei) or the SS (Schutzstaffel) or the SA (Sturmabteilung). Gestapo, SS and SA were directly subordinated to the NSDAP. Luftwaffe is and has been a unit of the armed forces.
