Re: Luftwaffe Escape and Evasion

It is not that easy. Allies were interested in German PoWs even if only as a source of information. Also, any such events could lead to repercussions against Allied PoWs held captive in Germany. Otherwise it is nonsense. What for to bother with a desk, if everyone was to be shot? It is illogical to say the least. And if there was a desk, there should be a paperwork, but there is none. And bodies cannot disappear, but there is no evidence of their existence. Here is the key to the problem.
Canadian soldiers saw these outrages happen, and were told by their officiers to ignore it. Like it or not that's what happened. Simply one little episode in a multi-million casualty war. You weren't there, but my friend and his buddies were, and saw it happen. What happens to bodies? Anything the winner wants to have happen to them.
