“ ‘Enemy airmen whose machines have been shot down are to be shot without trial by court martial in the following cases:
“ ‘(1) In the event of the shooting of our own German air crews while they are parachuting to earth.
“ ‘(2) In the event of aerial attacks upon German planes which have made emergency landings and whose crews are in the immediate vicinity.
“ ‘(3) In the event of attacks upon railway trains engaged in public transport.
“ ‘(4) In the event of low-level aerial attacks upon individual civilians, farmers, workers, single vehicles, and so forth.’ ”
Now, there is a note: “In the event of low-level aerial attacks on individual civilians, single civilian vehicles, and so forth,” is there not?
GÖRING: On my copy, “In the event of low-level aerial attacks—on single”—“single” is crossed out here and there are two words written above which I cannot read. Before the expression, “single vehicles,” is the word “civilian” and referring to Point 2, it says:
“I consider it doubtful, because the destruction of a plane which has made an emergency landing cannot be designated as gangster methods but rather as a measure in keeping with the strictest standards of civilized warfare.”
We are concerned with the entire series of questions discussed in these days and weeks and to which Von Brauchitsch also testified recently.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: That note about that emergency landing is signed by “J,” isn’t it, which, stands for “Jodl”?
