[Laurent Rizzotti]

This website is a useful research tool, listing all known cases with sources (so way above Web standard) but don't claim AFAIK to list them all, or to avoid duplicate (especially between the dated cases and those for which only the month is known). One thing it is lacking IMOO is the reference to the post-war process that often took place.

So a reference to it should be OK, as it is IMOO serious research, but the final number should be considered as an "order of idea". By the way, the figure may be high but it was less than 1% of the total number of POW. German airmen executed in France in 1940 were about the same ratio. And POW killing was far superior in ground battle...

By the way, the fliegermorde list is not complete. I recently found in French archives the case of a French Halifax airman that was very probably executed (beaten hard then brought from jail into a wood and "killed during an escape attempt") in fall 1944. It doesn't seem to be listed.

As for Allied airmen killed while resisting capture in Germany, I think the number was probably low.
