Allied pilot shot on the ground by Luftwaffe pilot after being shot down in aerial combat

[Broncazonk]

I'm still trying to understand the nature of the allegation.

"...Oberst Joseph Priller (ex Kommodore JG 26) was imprisoned by Allied justice and accused that on the ground he shot an Allied pilot who was shot down in aerial combat and was captured unharmed."

Is the allegation: (1) a Luftwaffe pilot landed his aircraft, located a downed, captured Allied pilot, and shot at said pilot with a sidearm, or (2) a Luftwaffe pilot strafed a downed Allied pilot who survived the strafing and was later captured?

My apologies,

Bronc

P.S.

Interesting. Is there any evidence that this indeed was a carefully planned assassination of Gen. Gott?
