Love the rescue boat.
And the last thing said was so true, no matter if rescue or not , you still had to shoot it down or try and sink it.
the germans and the allied forces used red cross type stuff to do the spying and to also put troops on the ground or in the water etc..
There was a story i read many years ago about a seaplane in the 1940's that was used to rescue some men off a submarine.
But what they actually done was to take off 12 casualties and put in a fresh crew of 12, plus more orders, this was done under the disguise as a rescue mission.
and yes it was British sub and plane so , the germans would of been well within their rights to shoot that
plane down.
WAR is WAR.
