Re: Allied pilot shot on the ground by Luftwaffe pilot after being shot down in aerial combat
Below is one high profile victim of II./JG 27 apparent strafing of the crash-landed Allied aircraft from the days of North African campaign... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Gott

The event was commemorated on the cover of John Weal's book Jagdgeschwader 27 'Afrika' - this though might have been the execution of a highly ranked Allied commander, somewhat like the USAAF shooting down Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto's aircraft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isoroku_Yamamoto
