" Is there a deeper meaning in that?"

No, from the way it was described to me, it was opportunistic on the Nazi pilots part when he saw them as he obviously hadn't done his homework because he flew straight over an AA gun on the top of the hill at the dn of the road and was shot down. As my grand mother said, "that wiped the grin off his face".

Re the Iranians, I am sure the US would have repelling swarms of speed boats but the phrase "they only have to be lucky once" comes to mind. I hope the Iranians don't do anything rash but it seems the sanctions are biting more and more.
