Franz Stigler's death in Surrey, B.C., received little notice in the local press, but friends knew a remarkable story about the man -- he had been a decorated German fighter pilot who saved the lives of a U.S. bomber crew.

That's a great story. Saw it on TV a while back.

There's probably plenty more of those stories too.

Can you imagine someone dropping bombs on your homeland and then not killing them when given a chance? Allowing them to return to do more bombing of your families and friends?

Its hard, however, not everyone were cold hearted killers in Nazi Germany, I think it relates to like the honor pilots have with one another (see that Flyboys WWI movie). There's no honor in killing a defenseless person
