Hi Brian,

To harp back to Skorzeny one of the charges was that his men were guilty of fighting in enemy uniform ' in contravention to an annex of the Hague Covention of 1907 '. Whether the Allied markings of Graf Spee's Arado would have been considered fighting in enemy uniform I have no idea. Going back to my previous post it seemed that in the latter stages of the war the Luftwaffe protected their crews flying captured aircraft on operatons by putting German markings on them. This certainly seems to indicate that the crews would have broken the rules of war if captured while flying in Allied markings, which would have applied in the Arado incident,
