Re: Collapsing of parachutes as sport ?
About shooting down aircarft with Red Cross was indeed a policy of RAF, it was Churchill who made that
decision, the reason was he suspect Luftwaffe used aicraft with red cross as disguse to report British convoy in the English
Chanel, second he thought it was wrong to allow Germans to rescure their aicrews who got shot down in the sea so that they could return to action again, so that Churchill said "we will shot down any German aircrafts even those with red cross on them, but we also would do our best to rescure those German aircrews shot down by us from the sea"
