@seekjustice Remember, I don’t study the actions of the soldiers and heads of state.  I study the reactions of the women and children of the home front.  I’m sure you’re right that the pilots fighting the Red Baron admired him as one accomplished at his art.  I’m coming from the women and children who hear the stories of one great, invincible warrior, who killed their fathers, brothers and husbands.

The “invincible” part is where the fear comes in, and the “killed their family” is where the hate comes in.  These women could not go out to fight with their men, and while they worked in the factories and fields to help with the war efforts, there was no reason for them to admire the skill the man who was seen as the slaughterer of any who came into his path.  What did they care for skill, when the ones they loved were dying?

Does that explain my comment? 😉  I study history from a quite different perspective from most people, I suppose.
