Re: Shooting pilots in their parachutes

I have been through the Luftwaffe loss lists line by line, but it has been a while. It would seem that if the practice of shooting parachuting aircrew had occurred very often, it would have been mentioned in the lists. My recollection is there were very few indications of pilots or crew members lost by enemy gunfire while parachuting. Can anyone else who has actually gone through the lists in detail confirm my recollection?

Best Regards,

Artie Bob
