LOL, I have to say that Majo seemed to me to be the rightest one of us all. Then good ole moilami had to come along and ruin it all.
I feel it's probably the most important thing, that people think.
The Dutch, for instance paid a high price for thinking, rather than just giving up and saying, well we're occupied now let's just follow our new leader and fill up those train cars. There too were many Germans who risked it all for what they felt was right rather than just "follow the leader". I'll always hold those people in higher esteem than the followers, regardless of whether I'm willing to pass judgment on them.
Granted, Majo that IL2 is in the end "just a game", but I can't imagine that it wouldn't make people think about these things.
LT Bear, while I understand your point, I hope you understand mine. The simple fact remains that there were many, many people who knew plenty about the "final solution" and chose to do nothing about it. That's how it happened. and that's how it happened. And you can't ignore the fact that Stalin killed at least as many people as Hitler, and he didn't pull a trigger once either.
I have great respect for all who fought bravely (and I fly Axis most of the time). There is some point though where you have to really have to think what will I do if this happens to me? I suppose this is as good a place to ask as any.
And one more can of worms to open..... Don't think it can't happen to you one day, this world has not changed so much.......
