There were plenty of bad men in bad places too. That's the thing, War is all about the individual fight to survive. Take any cross section of society and there will be the rotten few in there somwhere, problem was in WWII they were heavily armed and trained to kill.

I've read accounts of RAF pilots flying very close over German parachutes in order to collapse the 'chute and kill the pilot hanging from it.

IL-2 wise I always felt a little wierd shooting down Spits (I'm British) but not enough to stop me doing it.

Luckily we all share a passion for WWII aviation and so when you see someone flying a 109 around online you don't think 'Nazi' you just think '109 lover'.

The beauty of IL-2 is the emotional attachment to the aircraft means that the politics of it all don't matter. Man and machine, that's all.
