Re: Gunther Stedtfeld and strafing of civilians

Boris,

It happened many times during the war, and not just by the Luftwaffe. For example the US fighter pilots butchered a lot of Hungarian civilians deliberately also (I have many sicky details).

I guess, all of this kind of attacks were personally motivated and the pilots later reported "military" targets, or kept their "feats" to themselves (BTW I am curious, how explained the US pilots their gun camera films, when the targets were biking children, ambulance cars, working farmers on the filelds, etc., because the gun camera films - with their not to good quality - preserved their actions)
