It is always a sad day to hear of such men passing on. The poem "High Flight" comes to mind. Rest in Peace.

RIP Gunther, by all accounts seemed a decent man. Even though being British and had JG52 and the Luftwaffe succeeded I may have grown up as a kid thinking Hitler was a living God, (Unlikely however because of the Royal Navy) I don't really hold it against him.  Especially when he had this wonderful thing to say about my countrymen. "In my experience, the Royal Air Force pilot was most aggressive and capable fighter pilot during the Second World War. This is nothing against the Americans, because they came in late and in such large numbers that we don't have an accurate comparison. We were totally outnumbered when the Americans engaged, whereas at the time of the Battle of Britain the fight was more even and you could compare. The British were extremely good." All is forgiven Mr Rall, no hard feelings.  |

Shame.
We're beginning to run out of WW2 veterans. Hopefully WW2 will be another one of those wars that we remember for the wrong reasons, like WW1.
