I can't bring myself to do that.

I don't think you are a hypocrite. You use your freedom to elect not to fly under the swastika banner, that right was after all an important part of what the war was about.
Like you, I fly for my own enjoyment. I do not feel any obligation to "honour all veterans on all sides" by flying under their banners. As long as you recognice your feelings for just that, and not mistake them for some absolute moral imperative, you are not a hypocrite in my book.
