Re: Allied pilot shot on the ground by Luftwaffe pilot after being shot down in aerial combat
jiri
please read the book. There is written that it was an RAF pilot with slawik name - nothing more. At the trial they took Prillers flight books away.
They put him under severe mental pressure also they threatened him to hang him. 3 weeks before his release it was permitted to view the flight books.
Fact, no evidence was found for an start or landing to the this place what they say where Priller should have killed the pilot.
Priller was released without any word of apology, and - without his flight books.
A nice horrorstory about an man who was known for that he sended small gifts to his opponents once they were captured.
I can tell you that my father flew in JG26 and knew Priller as well, also this story. He said Priller was an absolutely fair and correct man. Nobody - has believed this incredible story.
Regards, Rainer
