Concerning that Lufthansa A320: Grab the report here:

As Denti said the whole thing was completely unnecessary since the commander insisted on using the ILS on runway 23 with full crosswind (up to 47 knots as reported by the tower, beyond all limitations) instead of landing on runway 30 and shooting a LOC.

Handlingwise it seems like the thing caught a gust just as the PF straightened the airplane (maybe with not enough opposite aileron)... Nasty nasty nasty.
