Country: | The rest of the world would not let it happen again. They will not stand by like they did in the mid and late 30's and allow someone to take power like that again and threaten the peace of the world.

Country: | They must have learned from their misstakes... Prime Minister Chamberlein(he was the one who signed the treatty with Hitler no???), did a huge misstake... Though I must admit... the way Hitler developed his army for the war was pure genius... Though he was forced not to have an army he researched for better aircraft, for example, pretending that he was researching for a new and more fast Airmail service... The Allies were stups not to investigate this and just simply take his word for it...

Country:  | Appeasement is definitely not the way to go. Like the saying goes, "you give them an inch, they'll take a mile".
You'd think everyone would have learned from this, wouldn't you?  | |

Country: | It means that you take a stand, and that you don't simply back down. War may result, but the alternative is to set a precedent whereby you're inviting them to walk all over you. I don't see how that's preferable. | |

#101 | | | Just curious Adler... is a trainer a legit target?
What about non-military aircraft? The Luftwaffe' shot down thousands of civilian aircraft in Poland, W. Europe, and then in the first week or so of Barbarrosa. I think these were even accounted as "kills" (but I'm not 100% sure of this).

Country: | Ah yes, the "total war" concept. Personally, I only feel that's justified if the civilians make themselves combatants, like what's been happening in Iraq. A threat is a threat, whether they're wearing a uniform or not. An assault rifle or RPG is just as deadly in those cases.
Granted, in an environment like that with civilians popping up with weapons aimed your way, it's difficult to pick the threats from the non-threats. It makes the troops understandably jumpy I think, and mistakes are going to happen. | |

#103 | | | The Luftwaffe' were shooting down unarmed civilian transport, commercial passenger aircraft, and private planes. If it flew, they shot it down.

Country: | this is just my opinion but i'd think trainer's are ok, to me they're military aircraft, as they're used by an air force...........
