Re: German pilots in Korea War?

This was a little more complicated, the reason Stalin supported Kim's invasion of the South was that he believed American would not involed into this confilict, Stalin surely did not want the WW III in the 1950's, luckily mainly from Chinese own interest, China committed her ground troops into Korean, Stalin's goal in this region became: 1) contained American in the Korea, this would be accompolished by Chinese, for this reason he would provided weapons to Chinese 2) avoid direct confrontation between American and Soviet, for this reason, Soviet troops, except a few flak regiments, were not allowed into Korean, and the VVS would only cover the crossing of the Yalu river, so that the war materials could be send over to Chinese army, but they were not allowed to come to south to support chinese ground troops or launch offensive against US airforce and US navy. At the same time, Americans, who also did not want a new world war, refrained them not attacking any ground target in China and Russia.
So it was hard to see why Russian would approve any actions such as recruited "interational volunteers" .
