I talked to a soldier who'd been in the German army at that time.

He said his lieutenant instructed the company that it was against the laws of war to shoot at a man descending in a parachute.

In other words, they were forbidden from doing it.

You wonder though how well orders were followed on the battlefield. A lot of stuff goes by the boards in a war.

It is also a war crime to shoot at lifeboats, but Israel seems to have forgotten. Or maybe they are immune to rule of law.

There are those who subscribe to the "do what thou wilt" school.

You have to qualify to get in with that bunch.
