If memory serves allies were "authorised" to shoot jet pilots bailing out or under canopy. They were a valuable asset and to be denied to the Luftwaffe at every chance...
@Schredder222 Are you talking about the part at the end? If so, he wasn't strafing the pilot, he was strafing the ME-163 which was very likely still fully functional. Those were rocket planes, they only flew for a few minutes and when they ran out of fuel they just glided back down to the ground. Shooting them after they ran out of fuel and either gliding down or on the ground was just about the only way the Allied fighters could kill one.
@cavalrytm My pleasure. I have watched this guy for awhile and will have to engage him at some time...this kind of ignorance must be challenged. By his reasoning, you did own him, it would be cowardly to shoot an opponent if he needed to reload his weapon. Idiot.
Take care and I am sure I will cross your path again. I make it my duty to scour the lies and falsehoods from these military vids. Future generations need the truth.
By the way, I just read some of the comments below and realized that "Robert111" intentionally avoided hitting the "reply" button so that I wouldn't see his response. And he wants to talk about "cowards"??? Wow, what a hypocrite!
Hey, thanks for bringing this back to me! What a blast from the past. I forgot all about owning this sumbag, but it's great to re-read the conversation and enjoy a good laugh. I'm also happy to have entertained you.
Isn't it amazing how anti-Americanism often seems to go hand in hand with ignorance?
@dividednation44 I grant that you are entitled to your opinion and I presume you live in a land of free speech but there is no need to swear at me, you don't even know me you ignorant c**t (please notice the correct way of spelling "ignorant") Just for your information they were being gassed at Auschwitz at the rate of 2500 per hour , that's according to Reinhard Heydrich, and he should know. Look him up if you don't know who he was. Only losers swear in discussions.

17 secs in is an amazing great burst on target for a good few seconds right up the line of the train and importantly, taking out the boiler too.
