He chose to kill the servicemen of other countries knowing there was no moral justification for his deeds. Following orders didn't protect any member of the German military or government at Nuremberg. 222 victories is not a man who was worried for the lives of his family or being imprisoned or executed due to none compliance. Fess, your own country lost countrymen against the Germans defending the right to be free of those countries he took part in killing their servicemen. Feats and achievement in an immoral war, I guess if you worship immorality.
Seems a lot of gamers have a similar attitude as yours in WW2 games these days about the Germans. They did have spiffy uniforms and toys compared to everyone else. Made them look good while immorally taking away the freedom of whole countries. If you think those victories, feats, and achievements are admirable also.
