Just an FYI since the topic has sort of come up. I fly for JG-3 UDET, primarily because they were the first squad who asked me to join way back when, and not because I have any great love for Germany, the Nazi's, or even flying German aircraft (which I don't, and rarily do unless it's a bf110).
Anyway, for the first time in the year and a half I've been flying here, about a week ago someone on an opposing side, after killing me in panzers and using what I think was a shade account, started gloating "I love killing Nazi's" and otherwise giving me a ration of s**t about being in a "Nazi" squadron. Attempted friendly explanation about the historical concept of the game and benign representation by some squadrons of German Luftwaffe units fell on deaf ears. Many rather nasty comments about glorifying Nazis, killing Jews, etc. were received from this individual throughout. Conversation didn't last more than a couple of minutes as it was quickly evident that both he and it were pointless.
Thinking back on it afterwards, something about his tone suggested that he might have been less sincere in his diatribe as opposed to just wanting to bait someone for fun and pleasure. This led me to deduce from checking his score history that this was most likely a long time (and accomplished) AH pilot riding a fairly recent new account, probably so he could engage in just this sort of behavior.
Given the real world attrocities of the German, Japanese and Italian nations during WWII, I would think such behavior and attitudes over these topics, directed at or about anyone playing with a historically representative squadron, would be seriously verboten in any form, at any time.
So, I'm wondering if this is true, and looking for any intelligent comments or observations about this incident and the topic as a whole.
