RE: Schumi joined the Third Reich?

I think you will find most older Brits refer to Germans as Jerries or krauts and not Nazis. Some of the younger generation may use the reference,the school national ciriculum seem to suggest that all germans were responsible for the concentration camps and atrocities, this I think having read some of my childrens worksheets stems from trying to over simplify things , goodies in white hats baddies in black,…..Is it me or did this topic turn serious suddenly!!

BTW The story about the FW190 and the P-47 is wrong. The actual story is that during one of the first (if not the first) raids over Berlin Mustangs of the fourth fighter group came into combat with Fw190 and Con, Don Blakeslee tried to shoot down a 190 but his guns froze or jammed the german pilot had the same result, but they never saluted one another. Don Blakeslee in an interview stated that if the german had saluted he would have rammed him!
