Skalski.

These threads are exactly why /his/ was a mistake.

What's wrong with this thread?

>>2282836
It degrades history down to top trumps, ignoring all the other shit that was going on if it's not kekworthy or cool enough. It's not unique to this thread, but by focussing on "BEST BATTLES" "MOST SKILLFUL ACES OF (method of combat)" and the like you take view of history that ignores both all the other shit that happened in the world (it's not all about war guys) and the conditions that allowed it to happen. There's fuck all good threads on ww2 that are about anything other that fact-sheet comparing and anecdotal shit to support retarded arguments. And that's before the nazis and Freeaboos come out the woodwork to sperg out. It reduces history to a point scoring game, to either use it to prove points for today's problems and issues or simply to reduce everything to 'pop-history' that makes this place no different from r_history but with more nigger jokes and holocaust denial.

That and the fact ww2/nazi threads are an actual literal cancer, but hey, nothing's perfect.

So? Some combatants were obviously more skilled than the rest, there's nothing wrong with acknowledging that. WW1 and WW2 dogfights are some of the last bits of warfare that still have that old romantic aura about them, and admiring aces who excelled in those isn't wrong.

killing Soviets is fun

>>2282868

The solution to that would be to make good threads (where we can then discuss the riveting effects of the 1832 Piedmontese grain tariffs).

Saburo Sakai doesn't afraid of anything, including getting machine gunned in the skull, eye surgery with no anesthesia, and talking shit about the Japanese Military.

You're wrong. This is a good thread.

There is none of this here:

>And that's before the nazis and Freeaboos come out the woodwork to sperg out.

Like literally IT HAS NOT FUCKING HAPPENED IN THIS THERAD.

So (you) fuck off and let's enjoy some WW2 Aerial Aces without anyone freaking out about something that is not happening.

Excellent taste. The Kamikaze program was something he until his dying breath, held a massive grudge towards. He also was fed up with the Emperor being free from blame.

>>2282868
Fucking kill yourself. I hate my grandfathers generation for not combating leftist thought and the growing degeneracy after the war. The only Allies I respect are the Poles, Czechs and Chinese.

absolute madman, too bad he was such a diehard nazi even after the war.

He also did a lot to raise awareness of how brutal the IJA was to it's own soldiers. Things like the Bataan Death March and the Rape of Nanking start making a lot more sense when you learn how the soldiers were treated.

killed nazi fucking shits, broke the sound barrier, what a madman.

I like those honorable aces like Franz Stigler or Sakai. Adds a certain romanticism to the war. I don't really know any American aces, which is sad, I really would like to know more about them.
