Re: Luftwaffe pilots shot while parachuted
This would make a good topic for an in-depth, academic study, but would probably take many years to complete.
It appears that the Americans and Russians made a practice of it, the Germans did it with some frequency in the East and much less so in the West while the British pilots not at all. Instead, the Brit and Commonwealth pilots preferred shooting up German ambulances and ambulance aircraft, according to the critically acclaimed book cited below:
