PCF 19 exchanged .50 caliber machinegun fire with the hovering aircraft during the running gun battle for several minutes, before exploding and disappearing beneath the sea. Swift Boat 12 (PCF-12), the US Cruiser USS Boston and Australian Destroyer HMAS Hobart responded. Five of the Swift Boat 19 crewmen were dead, the commanding officer was wounded. One of the five crewmen's body was never recovered. US Jets responded to the firefight and accidently attacked the USS Boston & HMAS Hobart, killing two Australian Sailors. During the PCF-19 firefight, all US/Allied helicopters reported themselves to be out of the area. To date, other than fratricide, the US Navy will not state the reason(s) for Swift Boat 19's loss. 26 December 1972-North Vietnamese MIG-21 pilot Major Pham Tuan reported shooting down a B-52 Stratofortress Bomber over North Vietnam, using air to air missiles. The shoot down is the only known loss of a B-52 to a MIG Jet Fighter. The US Air Force states that the downed B-52 was lost to a SAM (surface to air missile). On 23 July 1980, Lt. General Tuan became Vietnam's First Cosmonaut, when he and Soviet Cosmonaut Viktor Gorbatko were launched into outer space from the Baikonur Cosmodrome.

Did more Jews or Germans die in World War 2?
The question seems rather odd, as the war was not fought between Germans and Jews ... However, the number of Germans who were killed in World War 2 is estimated at about 7.2 million, and the number of Jews killed at about 6 million. However, I really do not see the relevance of the comparison.

How is the aryan connected to the holocaust?
Not at all really. The Aryan was Hitler's concept of homo-superior, the ideal being, eventually it would just become a term for German (and other nation's) gentiles. The Holocaust was about the elimination of Jews.
Though it is true that eugenics, pseudo science was used to explain that Aryan's were better and that Jews belonged to a race and this race was genetically inferior. But this was all just part of the propaganda.
Why was Jews sent to the Nazi Concentration Camps during the Holocaust?
because hitler was against all jews and wanted them to all be exterminated, so people of his religion helped him and killed the jews .. the jews could not do anything about it either.

It was not a matter of Hitler's religion - if he had any religious beliefs at all. Nor that of the Lutheran church that was, and is, the main German sect. Germany had been crippled and humiliated by Word War One, and Adolf Hitler rose to power on his own, self-generated beliefs in German supremacy. As part of that, he used the Jews as economic scapegoats, but he was helped by two common beliefs of the time. One was widespread anti-Semitism anyway, reinforced by the pseudo-science of 'eugenics'.
