Re: Shooting pilots in their parachutes
de Zayas has similar incidents by non-American pilots, too. According to fully investigated cases, RAF and Empire pilots in Italy had a "thing" for Wehrmacht ambulances with big red crosses painted on the roofs. They loved to swoop down and shoot them to shreds. All of the Wehrmacht war crimes investigative files survived the war and are available at Freiburg. OKW encouraged these investigations to counter the relentless accusations of war crimes made against German forces during the war. IIRC, the entire collection runs to some 2,500 case files, but it may be more.
