I don't know why I let myself get started here; the kind of person who is going to listen to "Viking" is going to do so no matter what I or anyone else says.
Oh oh, so you use Kraut as synonym for Nazi and you call BlauKreuz a Kraut??
Thats a pretty personel attack and i only can say you be extremely wrong in this!!
BK is my Squadleader(LLv34), i know him personally(face to face) and i dont know many people with more integrity than him and sence for fair play then him.
I would say its time to put away the "all who are not with me, are against me glasses" and cool down.
Viking use arguments that got offered by the RAE and other testpilots, imho his and the RAE conclusions got proofen as wrong, but i dont saw him attacking anyone, neighter i saw any Nazi behaviour.
To call someone Kraut in the sence of Nazi, only cause he offer arguments againest a allied plane, is uneven more strange, like to call a old fighter/test pilot idiot.
btw, we germans got called krauts already in WWI, this dont have to do with the Nazis. To say all selfnominated "master race people" are krauts would make at least 75% of the white brits and americans in the 1930´s to Krauts.
