Orders are orders, but you still have to be able to look at yourself in the mirror when it's all over.

It's even more impressive when you consider that it was a bomber, which was most likely bombing some German city. So in a way, his country was being attacked, and yet he didn't want to shoot down the bomber.

Just goes to show that the people of the nations in Europe shouldn't have been fighting at all, as they shared a set of values and standards. But that's what happens when a country lets extremists take over.
