Does that make sense?

No.
While the statement is technically true, it misses the entire scope, and that is what is wrong.
Basically, not all German pilots fired weapons, and not many of those where hard core Nazi, it was a mission they where ordered to do, like it or not.
You also need to consider other regimes that ordered their pilots to basically kill innocent civilians, even though they did want to.
I am
not defending Nazis.
I could go on, but other have points as well.
