Re: Collapsing of parachutes as sport ?

I guess it was not hard to kill the "enemy" with weapons. Because in that case they would have a physical distance with their victims, as their guns were adjusted to a couple of hundred yards. They would not see the face of their prey. Some time ago, I have ordered some gun camera footage from US archives. The footages were belog to several pilots and they were taken in the same day. I had a direct evidence that at least one of them killed a German pilot hanging in his chute. And, I was hoping to see the images of a chute being hit. All I got was buring or passing Bf109s. They were probably censored. This discussion has a dead end. I recommend everybody to read the book "On Killing" from Dave Grossman. The history is full of bullets and dead bodies, and this book is a must for everybody who "loves" history.

Good day.
