Of course you're right Viking, all those claims by USAAF or British pilots using .50 cal ammo are false... no Luftwaffe planes were ever shot down by Allied pilots, the Germans were just too polite to hurt the feelings of all those useless Allies, so they bailed out or crashed themselves into the ground.

More observations of 'polite' Germans, this time by P-47 pilots:







Hundreds more reports, all courtesy Mike Williams sites:

Note that all these reports were classified, not available for publication till the late '50's or '60's, were not released at all during the war, so obviously were not written for propaganda purposes, but simply as combat reports.
