It undoubtedly seemed like a hollow victory to the old man after losing his boy, but to echo lanc's sentiment, at least he went out fighting for an urgent cause. A hero, pure and simple.

I for one shall forever be grateful to him, and to all the other lads who never got to see the end of it.
 
Thanks for the help. also for the bit about the father and son. I agree that alot of families and children would have liked to have tfathers and sons home. Then in a generation we did it all again. What the world lost in life, in maybe a cure for cancer, or the next great prime minister. I think of the death in the Trenches, and a lot was from infection and sickness, and wounder ifthe Russians were not the better to just pull out?

If I would have had to fight in the war I would have wanted to fly, even if that life was expected to last only a few days.
 

You are more then likely correct on your assessement with Rommel. I dont think he would have stopped it but he would have done the best he could with what he had (which he did anyhow) and th blood bath would have been even more horrific.
