Marcus, of Horndon on the Hill, has a point. Dresden was a world-famous jewel of Baroque architecture, and we flattened it.

The planes could have more to do with the U S than Germany. Opel was part of General Motors,

Peter Brennan wrote mentioning "Nazi bombers", and "Nazi aeroplanes".
Please note that inanimate objects have no political affiliations.
...They were "German".

So where are the British apologies for the bombing of German cities during the war?

My grandfather believed that the property developers after WWII did more damage to British cities than the Luftwaffe.

Good for the pilot. War is madness.
US story. The only Japanese pilot who dropped a bomb
which kind of fizzled out on the US mainland returned to the
town where it happened to say he was sorry.
He brought along a sword to use for suicide if the trip went wrong.

He was embraced and feted by the townspeople and made
a honorary citizen of the town - in the northwest but I can't
remember where.

A happy event as it should have been.

As a child I remember the Nazi bombers which swept over my home town of Rotherham in Yorkshire to bomb again and again the city of Sheffield during the blitz of the Second World War.That this former German aircrew member of one of these Nazi aeroplanes should want to apologize publicly in Bath, 60-years afterwards, should be complemented and his actions welcomed when showing deep-felt contrition in true British and Christian spirit of forgiveness.
