Re: German aircrew shot down over UK
There are some cases recorded at NA Kew. Press clipping refers.
There are many other stories (not always substantiated!) of such treatment and I have had a few cases reported to me by ex Luftwaffe POW's. No doubt Chris Goss has, too. I don't have any particular reason to doubt the accounts some of these ex Luftwaffe men have given me.
Unfortunately, and however wrong it may be, instances of ill-treatment of POW's is a recurrent theme in every war.
