That's actually quite fascinating, good work vinders. So where are they buried? Near where they fell I guess?
Any plans to visit the graves?

I think your criticism is a bit unfair. The bloke was only trying to do his job!

I visited the graves 5 years ago in a place called Amersfoort..there are also 238 other allied airmen buried there aswell.

Being a member of the German armed forces doesn't make him a nazi, in fact I'd suspect the vast majority of Germans during WWII weren't actually members of the Nazi party.

Really ? Cheers for that Matty, I've gone all these years knowing nothing about WW2.
