What is claimed is: 1. A fuel injection device for a gas turbine, comprising: an airflow passage having an outer annular wall, a main stream of the airflow through the fuel injection device passing through the airflow passage within the outer annular wall, an air swirler positioned to swirl the main stream of the airflow and which thereby creates a high local air mass flow positioned at a radially outward portion of the main stream of the airflow near the outer annular wall, a plurality of fuel openings positioned on the outer annular wall of the airflow passage, downstream of the air swirler, for the injection of liquid fuel into the main stream of the airflow, wherein, a center axis of each fuel opening is inclined in a circumferential direction and also inclined axially against the main stream of the airflow such that the liquid fuel is injected radially inwardly, axially upstream and with a circumferential component to a controlled penetration depth within the high local air mass flow. 2. A fuel injection device in accordance with claim 1, wherein at least some of the center axes of the fuel openings are inclined in a direction of a swirl of the airflow to inject the fuel into the high local air mass flow with a circumferential component in the direction of swirl of the airflow. 3. A fuel injection device in accordance with claim 2, wherein at least some of the center axes of the fuel openings have different relative inclinations than others of the center axes to inject the fuel into the high local air mass flow at different circumferential inclinations with respect to one another. 4. A fuel injection device in accordance with claim 1, wherein at least some of the center axes of the fuel openings are inclined against a direction of a swirl of the airflow to inject the fuel into the high local air mass flow with a circumferential component against the direction of swirl of the airflow. 5. A fuel injection device in accordance with claim 4, wherein at least some of the center axes of the fuel openings have different relative inclinations than others of the center axes to inject the fuel into the high local air mass flow at different circumferential inclinations with respect to one another. 6. A fuel injection device in accordance with claim 1, wherein at least some of the center axes of the fuel openings have different relative inclinations than others of the center axes to inject the fuel into the high local air mass flow at different circumferential inclinations with respect to one another. 7. A fuel injection device in accordance with claim 1, wherein all of the center axes of the plurality of fuel openings have the same relative inclinations to inject the fuel into the high local air mass flow at a same circumferential inclination with respect to one another.
