Re: Attacks on Luftwaffe Red-Cross aircraft!
Ju55dk, the reasons why RAF attacked on Luftwaffe Red-Cross aircraft were British considered those shot down Luftwaffe pilots were still soldiers, and if they were allowed to be resecured, they would have a chance to fight another day, the second reason was that British suspected those Luftwaffe resecured aircrafts were also collecting British convoy information, so the policy of RAF was "Yes, we will do our best to resecure the downed Luftwaffe pilots by ourself, and no, we would not allow you to resecure them"
To be faire, RAF never pained their resecure aircrafts with red cross
