Re: Attacks on Luftwaffe Red-Cross aircraft!
Also you must look back at that time without the hindsight we have now.
At that time in 1940, the Germans appeared un stoppable and Britain was not only fighting for her survival but also that of our Empire. I would imagine that all the rules of war fall away in that situation.
The red cross in general on the Western Front looks to have been honoured in most cases through the whole war. But as with all wars i am afraid it has never offered 100% protection.
