Fliegerasse der Luftwaffe in English

I am with you Storm.

The word "Rasse", speaking abt Nazi germany (and without being an historical document) shld be enough to let this title off this thread.

Typically it means race.
But not in this case.
German speakers correct me if I am wrong but Fliegerasse just means flying aces.
The correct translation would be Flieger+asse=flying aces, not Fliege+rasse= race of flies
Again, is been a long time since I spoke any german, so correct me if Im wrong but I don't think I am!

As CWMV said, it just means 'aces'.

Fliegerasse der Luftwaffe = Aces of the Luftwaffe.

Oh comon, This kind of footage with german pilots interviews are really rare and after 70+ years can't we just watch this for their rarity/entertainment value?
Are you really that insecure to be offended by such old videos?

From what i could understand with my extremely rusty German, the documentary is great. Very famous pilots talking about their experiences and situation during those dark years.
