This game & other flight sims are not about the holocaust. All but a handfull of Germans had no idea of Hiltler's sick ideals until after the war. They clung to any leader that would take them out of the depression they were left with after WWI. As Anton stated in an earlier post pilots were knights (especially early in the war). In fact if a pilot crippled anothers plane in a battle they would often let them go (even fly next to them & salute).
I used to fly for the german (not Nazi) side in computer flight sims. Without opposing sides a "game" is just a shooting gallery. I have family that fought in WWII and hold no ill toward thier one time enemy only toward war itself. You can not really believe that every german soldier had no concious & was out to exterminate a race (many of whom they were related). When people are drowning they will cling to anything. Just try and go to Germany & wear a swastika, they wont arrest you because of pride lost, they will take you away because of shame. Shame for what thier country is remembered for yet the regular people/soldiers knew nothing about.
