I will say Stern....whatever tone I take with you it's not because I dislike you, I just feel incredibly strongly that 'your' view of the average Brit is very very wrong....

Unluckily he is not too much off the mark. You have to judge ppl by what they do and say as there is no knowing what the thinking behind it may be. And from pure impression, Sterns judgement over british attitudes, at least how they come over elsewhere, is not that much off the mark, even if you do not want to hear that.

Usually the loudest people are also the most stupid ones. But if the rest stays silent, it's the only thing you hear.

And do you think every other nation doesn't have an element that feeds it's stereotypes?

Absolutely, every country has it's quirks and oddities. Usually that could even be considered a good thing, if you loved stereoptypes as much as me, hehe

I know that man, trust me! As I was saying before it's not the Brit per se, but it's a certain attitude that some (like Winny was saying) have that is dangerous and I despise.. I'd like to talk about this more, but seems like it's not welcome here.

Anyway, back to the OT, does anybody know if (other than Stephilner's memories) there are similar interviews of BoB German pilots? It would probably make for an interesting comparison. I bet there's a lot of German language material out there, but my vocabulary is very limited ("mehr lager bitte!").
