So should Hanna Reitsch be praised for changing significantly from
her former pro-Nazi beliefs or be condemned for not changing enough?

Unless she is repentant for all the millions of Jews and others that they murdered, I would say she should receive no praise. I would think it is safe to assume that God would not forgive her either until she repented of all the murdered Jews and others. Nazi's did not murder Blacks for being black as far as I am aware. I know we did battle the German Nazi's much in Africa. Even so, should one receive praise for becoming more of who God intended them to be in the first place? Maybe some; not much tho. The mercy and forgiveness offered to her by God after repentance, is more than enough in my opinion.

God doesn’t exist. Take to spirituality where people believe in fairies, gods and unicorns.

What a question.
The only thing I know about her, really, is that she landed a plane in the Berlin Tiergarten during the last days of the siege of Berlin (and took off again). And anyone who knows Berlin and where the Soviet forces where in those last days has to have a bit of admiration for such a feat.
Last plane out of Berlin, I believe.

As far as I’ve ever been led to believe, she was a hardcore Nazi supporter. Although I think I did read somewhere that she contacted Himmler (which would make one high ranking, I suppose... I presume not everyone had the connections to reach him) about information she had received about the gassing of people.
If true, then she might seriously not have known about that part of the war.

Hard to say. Harder to judge.

Then there’s the whole indoctrination over a 15 year period. Try telling US right-wingers that what they’ve been led to believe about America the great and the greatest democracy on Earth and God on their side is all rubbish. It’s a hard pill for people to swallow.

So, ultimately, she was probably caught up in things, believed what she was fed and wasn’t inherently a very bad person.

Balls the size of bloody melons though. Excellent pilot, certainly.

I will answer any question with my personal opinion when asked.
Sorry, God does not believe in gods, unicorns or fairies either. Those are the people whom think life is all a fluke; including themselves; where I must agree that you and a few others here have a good argument when it comes to yourselves.

An evil one at that.

You can call it what you wish Duchess; anyone whom took part with the Nazi's in the murder of those millions of Jews and others, they are evil; at least they were evil at one time; just as most of us. This has nothing to do with America; and, I'm surly not a self-righteous American. I'm ashamed of many things that America has done.
I would point out that the USA has committed many terrible war crimes, including genocide.
Most flag-waving Americans remain deeply in denial of many, if not most, of these crimes.
Would KingDavid403 like to condemn his fellow Americans as evil too?

Why yes, yes I would Duchess; and, I agree with you.
As I've said before, she is offered forgiveness by God through the Blood of Jesus the same as anyone else as long as they repent. I hope that's not to spiritual for anyone here. If it is, suck it up.
There are many Germans that have realized their wrongs in their war against most of the world.

One must watch all of it Duchess.
Does KIngDavid403 condemn practically everyone who lived in the Third Reich as evil?
I condemn everyone in the Third Reich in doing, or following along with evil' when they knew it was evil. This evil started several years before world war two; and, it was all under the guise of White Nationalism. Yes, they did evil, all of them. Who they are now, is a much different story.
