Breach of international rules of war?
Hi guys
In case you did not notice my earlier enquiry regarding Graf Spee's Ar196, it has come to my notice (via the excllent input of 'Seaplanes' and others)that the Arado carried British or French roundels on the undersides of its wings, presumably to fool allied merchantmen it overflew that it was not hostile. Perhaps this has been known for a long time by historians/ enthusiasts, but not by me. My question is - was this a breach of the international rules of war - or was there not such an animal? Cheers Brian
