MRFF Battles Abhorrent Display of Nazi-Glorifying Artwork at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas — Partial Victory Achieved!

80th OG CC office copy
From the initial email of a MRFF client at Sheppard AFB:
“German Air Force colonel, Col Stefan Kleinheyer, who is the commander of the 80th Operations Group, Sheppard AFB, Texas, prominently and proudly displays a framed picture with a prominent swastika outside the door of his office on base. The picture celebrates Nazi war hero Wolfgang Schenck, a highly decorated Luftwaffe fighter ace, and the Messerschmidt Me-262 jet fighter. The painting purports to be signed by Schenck himself.”
“This German officer and fan of Nazi fighter aces is in command of USAF officers. They are all offended and intimidated by this display. It discredits the wing and the US Air Force to allow it.”
A second MRFF client email reported that there were MORE similar Nazi-glorifying images hanging in the hallways of the building where U.S. pilots train alongside NATO and European pilots.
PARTIAL MRFF VICTORY: MRFF has been informed that the one loathsome image in Colonel Kleinheyer’s office has been taken down, although those in the other building remain on prominent display.

25 years ago I wrote a book report on “ATTACK” regarding Rommel. I noted his excellent feel for terrain. His superior ability with small unit tactics. His care for his troop, and his initiative in combat. All valuable lessons. My commander told me to a letter the other reports were about a looser nazi. I had to present my paper to my peers. We can learn from our enemies or die by their hand. An ACE is an ACE even if he is on the wrong side. Has anyone asked this professor if he is a nazi? Is the photo intentional disrespect, or an attempt to generate interest in a superior pilot?
This is in truth a nothingburger, a mere framed aviation print paying homage to an historic German fighter ace, whose combat aerial tactics are still taught today. It’s not like it is a print of an American B-17 bomber pilot who fire-bombed German non-military and cultural targets full of civilians in WW II. There are bigger and more relevant fish to fry by sticking to your mandate of protecting servicemembers from religious zealots like Christian nationalists.
Wow, you guys are the biggest bunch of tranny faggots I have ever seen (MRFF). This guy has a right to put up whatever the fuck print he wants in his office. He isn’t breaking any laws or violating your precious separation of church and state. I’m not a Nazi sympathizer in any way shape or form, but you need some testosterone boosters to reduce the level of estrogen in your pussy Mikey and MRFF. I would have told you to go fuck yourself.
Freedomofspeechmotherfucker, you are definitely a nazi sympathizer, not to mention a pussy. Go fuck yourself.
@Fuck You
You are also a tranny faggot. This guy should be able to put up a picture of your mother getting fucked by the great grandson of Heinrich Himmler while your father watches and jerks off. I’ve got your pussy right here you beta cuck soy-boy.
When someone tells you who they are, believe them.
As tolerant as I am if a human believes many must die to preserve racial purity (the definition of Nazism) then they don’t deserve a seat at the negotiating table. Either we all have rights or none of us do. It’s that simple in our representative democracy.
MRFF is obviously a bunch of right wing kooks. Why aren’t they screaming about all the artwork showing American pilots shooting down Axis planes? Look close and you’ll find swastikas there too.
I think Turkeybutt is off his meds again!
What the fuck point are you making?
And MRFF is right wing? You mean like MAGA supporting right wing?
Dude! Take your meds!
Freedomofspeechmf has some serious male-erotic issues! Particularly centered on Trannies!
You come out of the closet yet?
He says the MRFF is the biggest bunch he’s ever seen! Sounds like he hangs out trannies, seems to know them well. I hate to insult trannies by saying they might allow this guy to hang with them but he seems pretty obsessed with male eroticism.
Sound like a little closer thing going on here. You really should just come out – you’ll feel much better!
The plane this aviator flew didn’t have a teddy bear painted on the vertical stab. It was a swastika. Religious zealots like you are as bad as the Taliban sometimes. I hope you know a lot of what we know today in dog fighting was written first by German pilots like Richtofen and others. That tiny little swastika is hardly “prominent” as you like to say. In fact the German cross is much more noticeable.
I see a photo of a Nazi pilot and their plane outside an office door placed in the dominant position of the display. I know I’m wired to look top to bottom, maybe you are too?.
Also and too, as an other I’m sensitive to signaling – those codes used to tell one another that you’re their kind of human: placing the Nazi in such a prominent position tells me that this person will be polite to my face but will do everything in their power to implement their Nazi agenda, basically kill everyone they don’t like.
Funny, this ‘kill everyone we don’t like’ accusation has been hurled at The Left (as if we’re that organized- can you say fly by the seat of your pants?) and every other population out there. But only one side has actually tried to kill everyone and it’s not us “others”.
Just a thought or two keeping me up
it’s quite amusing to see white supremacists trying to defend their adulation here. The nazi killed allied pilots. One can teach tactics without glorifying Nazis. No mention of this Nazi needs to be made at all.
it is notable that the white supremacists have nothing but references to sex rather than an actual argument. Thanks, dears, for being exactly as expected, ignorant and violent.
Andrea, You give me the distinct impression that you are neither a service member with a deep and insightful understanding of the warrior ethos and military core values, nor are you an historian who should understand that the true Nazis were the NSDAP (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei) party members, who were highly vetted for their philosophical loyalty to Hitler’s Third Reich (plus adherence to the Nuremberg racial laws) before being awarded the coveted party pin (you may remember that pin figuring prominently toward the end of “Schindler’s List”). The Lion’s share of native German combatants were simply unlucky conscripts or volunteers (including foreign legions) who fought for various reasons related to nationalism or anti-Bolshevism. Your penchant to indiscriminately call anyone who opposes your ignorant and narrow worldview a “white supremacist” is boorish at least, revealing of your education and capacity for learning at best.
The most comprehensive understanding of adversarial tactics, whether dunderheaded tactics or brilliant tactics, comes with an understanding of what philosophical impetuses are often behind those tactics. The initial phases of WW II in Europe cannot be separated from the humiliation of the Versailles Treaty, the economic disaster and class dialectic of the Weimar Republic, the threat of the Soviet Union, and an Austro- Teutonic populist and WW I veteran who promised to make Germany (and old Prussia) great again. Studying and understanding all of this is hardly glorifying the Third Reich, rather it helps us to understand modern autocrats and their impulses — like Trump, Putin, Orbán, and Erdoğan.
Part of my understanding all this is the family history of my spouse and the tragedy of her paternal grandfather, who was a university-educated, middle-class, professional drafted into the war, who was repeatedly promoted for his leadership abilities and ultimately died along with 54 others in his crew. He was not a Nazi, mid-war he was simply assigned to a brand new U-boat (U-540) and though convalescing at the time felt it his duty as a SNCO to try and help keep alive a green crew of inexperienced young sailors. They never sunk a ship, but were simply caught surfaced by RAF bombers and sunk. Such is war, his widow and sons became displaced persons when allied bombers destroyed their small northwestern German town.
This brings me to the offending lithograph of the renowned Luftwaffe fighter pilot and ace — Wolfgang Schenck and his then state-of-the-art jet aircraft. Although the pilot and his fighter skills made him a minor wartime celebrity, there is no evidence he was a “Nazi” party member, nor any evidence he committed war crimes (as many American bomber pilots did in targeting civilian centers of population and related cultural targets (like Dresden) which were distinct from legitimate industrial targets). He was simply a highly decorated officer (albeit an enemy officer) caught up in a world war, who happened to be a superior pilot (and test pilot), whose job and “service before self” at the time was to kill allied pilots bombing Germany, only (unlike my spouse’s grandfather) Schenck lived until 2010 to tell about it. As Freud tells: Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. I might add: Get over it.
It’s is an icon airplane, not a Nazi propaganda picture….get a life ‼️
My cousin was a 8th AF B-24 pilot shot down by FW-190s and KIA near Hamburg, Germany during March 1944. If anyone should be offended it would be me. But, I’m not!!! The display depicts a Luftwaffe pilot and NOT the Nazi party or its ideology. This whole thing is stupid and those offended by nothing need to get over themselves!!!
I am going to murder Michael Weinstein and his supporters
Anyone who thinks he can put any picture he wants up has never worked in the US government. They have rules what you can display. Don’t like rules don’t work for the government. Don’t care if you like or dislike that’s just the way it is.
You’re getting your panties in a wad and devoting precious resources to a picture of a defeated enemy some 75 years ago, and his aircraft, displayed by a base commander? That’s going to look really good on the fund-raising newsletter. Go with that. Yeah. Might work. Probably.
As a veteran United States Army Cavalryman who spent several years in Germany, I had the opportunity to come in contact with quite a few German ex-Panzer WWII crewman, in fact, some sought us out whenever they could while we were on field maneuvers(once a tanker, always a tanker). I don’t believe I’ve met a nazi among them, and I was not shy in asking. And we studied their Commanders(Rommel being one of the more prominent) amongst many sources and learned how to battle with armor. A picture of a plane or a tank is just a picture of a plane or a tank. A picture of an advanced war machine with that symbol on it was a reminder to us why we were in the military, what things we needed to be vigilant of, why we were there manning machines meant only to deal death, and how capable any potential adversary could be regardless of(or due to) their insane political asperations. To some of us, the red star is just as evocative. Remove those symbols and you remove an important aspect. The past nor the present can be sanitized, as much as some would love to have it so. If “Remember the Alamo” hadn’t been shouted to the heavens at every opportunity, I guarantee there would have been quite a few people wondering why the hell they were there getting their butts shot off and considering getting back to their farms.
There you have it MRFF, the majority of us think you are jackasses for wasting time and resources on this. You guys are lil cry babies. Mikey Weinstein you baby Harvey looking motherfucker. Stay in your lane, this isn’t illegal nor does it infringe on any rules or the constitution. You simply just don’t agree with it. We’ll go fuck yourself, we aren’t just doing thing because you don’t like it.
I am going to murder every MRFF member
Hey Rock,
And the majority of you are white Christian Nationalists with an agenda. The majority, as you say, of you thought “storming the capital” was OK untill they started locking your asses up, then you cried like babies and begged for Daddy Twump to help you out, who, BTW, doesn’t give a fuck about any of you! Boo hoo! At one time, the “majority” in this country thought slavery was OK. Your tyranny is showing!
It’s NOT just a picture, it’s representative of the veneration of an enemy combatant!
Commanders should be held to a higher standard, particularly a German Commander that knows full well he wouldn’t display that same photo outside his office in Germany!
He knows better. He’s on foreign soil and thinks he can get away with it. Relieve him of Command and send him home – too easy. You don’t get to argue, “it’s just a picture” when you’re in the military. You’re given an order and you follow it!
I am going to murder and decapitate Ironmoped
Hey Allah/Israel,
Wow, a four syllable word! You did learn how to spell Google!
Come get me bitch boy!
Hell, I’ll even give you my address:

You get sized up for an orange jump suit yet? I figured it would be kind of hard finding one in extra-petite! Get one with a zipper in the back, you know, easy access to give your mouth a rest!
Get some lip injections too. You know, give the Boyz on the inside a little softer landing.
Dar farsi migim, Gaeedamet! Martikeh!
I wouldn’t bother with the translation, work on that GED first!
They’re coming for you!
ironmoped sucks tranny dick
Hey Jew,
That all you got?
On a Sunday at 11:59? Shouldn’t you be in church?
Face the facts, NIGGERS, your race is a failed race because you’re a feckless, unruly, uncivilised horde of feral proto-humans. You never figured out how to live in a society bigger than one or two squabbling families. Starting thousands of years ago, everyone else on this planet without exception did – they invented religion, the idea of law, and the ideas of property and respect for the value of human life. This enabled tribes to coalesce into bigger groups and become organised. The rest is history, or rather civilisation.
But your lot never did this, did they? Abstract thought and problem- solving have never been the black man’s strengths, have they? Did they invent a long-lived and intellectually coherent religion? Nope. Did they ever build a city? Nope. Did they even invent bricks? Nope (the reason there’s no Stonehenge in Africa is because it took more than 20 people to move the slabs of rock – clearly a non-starter in Africa, where assembling more than 20 niggers normally results in a war). Did they till the land? Nope. Did they domesticate an animal for their use? Nope. Did they invent a written language? Nope. Did they invent the wheel? Mainly, nope. Were they curious enough about what lay out across the sea to sail upon it? Nope.
And blacks are the only “humans” on this planet of which all this is true. Eskimos are more technically advanced than blacks were, despite the handicap of having no raw materials to work with other than dead fish and snow. Indians managed to domesticate the elephant. Why couldn’t niggers?
So why do you fail everywhere even today? Let me offer you jigaboos a hypothesis. It’s because feral behaviour – innate savagery, murderous violence if annoyed, predisposition to rape many women and thus fecklessly father many children – conferred valuable survival advantages on individuals in the backward, Palaeolithic milieu of Africa. But they don’t help your kind in a civilised society. Unfortunately for the rest of us, the last few hundred years have not been long enough for these behaviours to have been domesticated out of you all. So you’re all still at it.
Let me illustrate this for you by analogy. Technically, an American pit bull terrier and an English golden retriever are exactly the same species. They can produce offspring, if crossbred.
The former was bred to exhibit certain characteristics – wanton aggression, propensity to fight, physical strength, powerful bite, and so on. The latter was bred to retrieve birds shot and killed by its masters, and to do this, it has to have a docile, placid, unaggressive nature; otherwise it would treat what it found as its own kill and refuse to hand it over.
Now imagine that your small children, aged maybe two or three years old, are going to be locked in a room with five or six of those dogs, and the dogs haven’t been fed for a week.
Which breed would you rather lock in there with your children? Hungry pit bulls, or hungry golden retrievers? Or do you figure that, even though they look differently, they’re all the same species really, so of course the pit bulls certainly won’t act any differently?
Exactly!
All this PC crap we hear spouted in the media about how “there’s no such thing as race” is just that – crap. A dog has four legs and a tail; a cat also has four legs and a tail, but that doesn’t make it a dog. The superficial similarity between cats and dogs and between whites and blacks is just that – superficial. If there really were no genetic difference between niggers and humans, then presumably my white woman and I could very easily produce a black baby between us at any time, and any nigger and his ho a white one.
But we know what we’d say to them if that ever happened, don’t we? 🙂
Whenever blacks achieve a certain critical mass numerically in a pre- existing non-black society, they start to exhibit their natural feral behaviour and to turn their environment back into a recognisably African, essentially Stone Age one. Thus, Africa has the jungle; black enclaves have “da ‘hood.” Native Africans were small wandering herds of marginal animals, one famine away from extinction, and which therefore fought each other savagely for pieces of territory. Large groups of “African-Americans” at liberty in the west actually deliberately break themselves down into smaller, tribal hordes, because they feel uneasy in and unaccustomed to a larger society. Negro gangs of twenty to fifty individuals assert their rights to “tag” other people’s property through gang violence, but fail to co-operate otherwise.
For instance, a 15- or 20-strong horde of negroes was recently filmed by a security camera inside a London bank they were robbing. Once they had terrified the cashiers into handing over the money, they then fought each other for it, in the middle of the cashier’s hall, like hyenas fighting over an antelope. Having stolen from the bank, they instantly started to steal from each other. The idea of escaping first, then sharing the swag, was just too complex for them to understand, never mind implement.
And so it goes on. You cannot fuse blacks into existing large societies or standalone nations because they are just plain not adapted to it. I’m sorry for you niggers and for your savagery, and I’m sorry you were born a violent black aboriginal savage in a civilised society, but I’m more sorry for the white societies that are having to tolerate all your crime while we try to absorb you.
This is why all black nations fail economically and sink into corruption, civil war, and permanent dependence on the white man’s generosity.
And presumably this is also why you pathetically allowed yourselves to be enslaved: you’re savage enough still to be angry about it long after it ended, but you were too backward to stop it at the time. No black Spartacus, is there, niggers? Why no slave uprisings among blacks? Slaves repeatedly rose against the Romans even they knew they’d be crucified for it, when captured.
White slaves, that is. They cared enough about their stolen liberty that they were prepared to risk even that. So what’s different about the negro? Why did you all sit there, enslaving each other even in America, and still enslaving each other even today in Africa, until a kindly but misguided white benefactor set you free? Is it because, as slaves, you were fed, watered, and housed, and that you as a race had no ambition beyond that if it entailed doing any work or taking any risks? What are you – lazy, cowardly, stupid, or all of the above?
And you’re still bleating about slavery now. If slavery is the root of all your problems, why did Australia prosper? England used Australia as a dumping ground when her prisons overflowed. Within a hundred years, a nation manufactured from convicts in irons had its own autonomous elected government, and barely a hundred years on from then, Australia is now a major economic power in the Pacific. And at no time have they niggerwhined for handouts from the mother country – in fact, if anything, it’s mostly been the other way around.
You know what? It’s because Australia is white. Oh yes it is. Just imagine if there’d been a Black Australia. Look how few aborigines were able to live in Australia’s climate, and now look at how many whites can. If President Monroe had sent his niggers there, they’d be niggerwhining about how Bwana dumped de po’ black folks on a desert island in the middle of nowhere, so they never had a chance. Every week there’d be news of a new famine or civil war in Australia. The Africoons would be slaughtering the Aborigines, or the other way around, or whatever. The collecting tin would come out regularly, but the money would be stolen and spent on Kalashnikovs, and Black Australia would still owe Whitey billions which we’d be expected to just forget. If all those unfortunate convicts we sent out there had been black, Australia today would just be yet another Liberia – a crappy failed nation of murderous warring niggers, with one hand held permanently out for money in the general direction of Bwana. And you know it.
So quit whining and thank the white man you live in America, not in Africa.
Among the population that receives welfare in the United States 43% are white. Hispanics make up 28% of all welfare recipients followed by non-Hispanic blacks at 23%.
So…….. There you have it!
Hate to pop your little bubble, but your “white boyz” (Wiggers) are twice as lazy, by your standard, as those you call Niggers!
Why dont you spend some time getting your family off Meth and off the dole? Tired of spending my tax dollars on you lazy white bastards!
Nothing worse than a meth head Wigger on Welfare! Parasites! White Leeches! Dregs of society.
Easily recognizable – no teeth and they all have the same DNA!
