Any link? I am just curious to read, not suggesting anything.
All major air forces bombed civilians and maybe strafed too. So if you say Germans were bastards please do say Englanders and Americans were bastards too. Or maybe say those who gave such orders were bastards? By the way what you would had done as a pilot of B-17?
Regarding chute shooting there are two valid views. One is chutes should not be shot and the other one is chutes are legal target and there is no laws nor Geneve deals saying the opposite. Were Polish pilots bastards for shooting chutes? I would not say so. They maybe just took things personally and wanted to eliminate the enemy. If you are a soldier, you are risking you life in order to defeat the enemy and protect your people. You are not safe and can't ask to be safe untill you have surrendered.
Or what do you think? In the meanwhile watch this and see what will happen when SoW is released
Make a special note on how Luftwaffe pilots has cleaned the skies of enemies.
