The traditions of the German Air Force date back to the First World War. Daredevil fighter pilots like the "Red Baron" Manfred von Richthofen achieved cult status and were celebrated as heroes. In the Second World War, the Luftwaffe was an indispensable instrument for carrying out the "Blitzkrieg". Civilian targets were also bombed mercilessly. The new Bundeswehr air force is now an integral part of NATO's defense structure and secures the West's air sovereignty.

    Excellent. German fighter pilots and their crews have long been admired for their supreme quality, abilities, and bravery. German engineering speaks for itself also. Quality.

    WWII is history. All great nations have a past, including Britain. Lessons learned. Let's be brothers and work together to protect Europe and keep the peace. Respect to this very highly professional and capable air force.

    It's time to let Germany build up its military again.. They have always been one of the most powerful and technologically advanced militaries in the world.. NATO would be so much stronger and the US wouldn't have to spend as much.. If Germany had a good ally in ww2, they probably would have won
