Re: Shooting pilots in their parachutes
Unfortunately, war being what it was, Nick Beale is correct in that EVERY nation shot up innocent targets, be it, airmen hanging in parachutes, individual enemy soldiers, ambulances, cows, children, what have you.
I have book on the 357th FG where a pilot who was subsequently KIA wrote the following:"However, in the short time I've been flying I have been given the chance to see that in our aerial warfare against Germany we have brought ourselves down to their level and have murdered women and children of Germany. If this is a total war and has to be may God have mercy on us...Within this group with which I am flying we strafed houses,villages, and even though I didn't do it myself,I'm as guilty for I do not have the courage to quit before I do kill innocent people."
