What your relatives did have no bearing on how misguided your post is, though I'd love to know what they'd say if they read it.
The original post was nothing to do with the rights and wrongs, but with flying aircraft used by the "enemy" whichever side the "enemy" fought for.
As for "peace", what does that mean? Acceding to the demands of a bonkers leader freeing him up to annexe large parts of Europe and exterminating entire races, or does it mean making the ultimate sacrifice to protect your country, its people and those that you are allied with?
I think you can shove your version of peace so far up the dark place that it tickles your nose.

ps for your records, one grandfather stepped on a mine but lived and one taught pilots to fly Spits. I think they'd both laugh at you, or worse.
pps Over and out as I don't think I can contribute more in the face of obstinate stupidity.
