Re: Attacks on Luftwaffe Red-Cross aircraft!
Junker,
Your intention was well understood, the fact that you have an original document proving that the Luftwaffe Command at the time knew the legal position of their SAR units, regardless of the Berlin propaganda, is most enlightening.
You are also right that this should not turn into the usual "shooting bailing crew" discussion.
Of course having said that, it might be assumed from the document that the Luftwaffe although not legally supported, at least tried to act by the spirit of the Red Cross. Your document only makes the issue more interesting.
Again thank you for uploading the genuine article, nothing beats primary source material.
