Re: Luftwaffe rescue buoys
Although it is true that the Udet-buoys were shot at by the British, they still saved a lot of lives (Germans and British airmen).
The RAF used similar floating rescue stations and were they left alone by the Germans ? I have no data for that but I am sure the Germans also attacked the British floating stations.
To my knowledge the "chivalry" in airwarfare was blown away by the Germans when they used He-59s with Red Cross markings to shadow British convoys and subsequently sent information about these convoys to the German U-boat wolfpacks.
