Interesting link, Thank you for that. It seems that I was wrong about shooting on airmen in a parachute. But i says nothing about shooting a grounded airmen.

It also gives a lot of rules that was not followed by both parties during WW2. Especially bombing sivil areas

The Geneva Conventions is from 1949 and does not inflict WW2
