Well, if he feels the desire for atonement and his former target is receptive, so be it.

Apology is appropriate when you have done something wrong. I don't think this is the case.
His and many other soldiers'(including Americans, Russians, Brits, Japanese etc) only fault was to be born in the wrong time and in the wrong place. Someone should rather apologize them for all the sacrifices they did. Unfortunately no one ever will.

I agree with that. Had the man said to his commander, "I refuse to bomb a British city," you can bet that he would have been shot forthwith.

That man has nothing to be sorry for. He was fighting for a righteous cause, if england would have kept its nose in there own buisness it would have never happened.
