He built weapons to kill the allied forces. I'd consider that a nazi. Not to mention tens of thousands of forced laborers died while building his facilities he asked for and oversaw

Even though he may not have been a "true nazi". He still had much blood on his hands. Blood that the American people forgave him for bc of his leadership and technological improvements/insights that spearheaded our aerospace program for the rest of time

Lots of people built weapons who weren't Nazis.

No, that would make him a German serving his country.

You knew he was arrested by the gestapo and only released after Speer and Hitler directly intervened, right?

At that time, If you were a German and supported your country you were considered a nazi. No?

Maybe we can argue this on another thread. I don't want to hijack this great thread.

No, you were a Nazi only if you were a Nazi. Not all Germans were Nazis, probably not even most Germans.

This. My wife's Grandfather, who was captured at the Kaserinne Pass and spent three years in a Stalag. He always said that the Germans were just soldiers doing their job and didn't harbor any ill will towards them.

Lt. General Hal Moore.

He was Mel Gibson's character in We Were Soldiers.

Mid-air heavily damaged the right wing of this F-15 yet it returned safely to base. Happened in Israel?

Yessir. It was supposedly during ACM training that it collided with an A-4, whose pilot ejected safely.

What was the name of the flag in Hitler's car and what was its significance?

That was at the Nuremberg Rally, I believe. Isn't that where they made the laws as that being the official flag?

I mean that specific flag.

If it helps at all that photo was from 1935 and the occasion was that Hitler was reviewing SA members.
