Re: Joachim Kirschner's death Spitfires or Thunderbolts

Hi

I do recall A German pilot who claimed to Allied aircraft over Africa, but they were refused confirmation because they were thought to be red cross aircraft! Guess there is no law against shooting pilots in there parachutes either. But if I was trying to find out who shot down a particular pilot over Northern Europe, and it was found he was shot in his shoot I would think American fighters. I read somewhere that Maltese fishermen would drown Italian pilots they found in the sea, so the British would paint a white Maltese cross on there life vests to avoid the same fate!.....war sure is mean.

Regards

Johannes
