I totally agree with Galway.
I have no problem in saying that some German units acted heroically during WW2 - even though I abhor the reason.
The thing with war is that despite the vast numbers of people involved it's a very personal experience, it's your life, your fight to survive.
Individuals acted heroically on both sides time and time again, be it a German unit fighting to the last man to cover the retreat of their comrades, or a 19 year old climbing the ladder into a Lancaster, night after night, knowing what was coming.
So let us remember the men, the youth, the tragedy, waste and heroism.
Without the politics.
And nice one SJ
