The way it is described sounds kind of like a combination predator/smart bomb/cruise missle. I haven't heard of anything like this being used by our side in WWII. Maybe the practical problem was how the mother plane steered the drone. If they were clsoe enough to maintain visual contact the would have been dodging flak and fighters as well as steering.
As for the burial of German aviators, read tcrlaf's excellent post #34 from last Saturday.
You are correct. Things changed as the war wore on.
yes, it was a good post. pretty incredible. even at this stage with the war 2 months underway people have no idea the horror, or how it will burn out of control.
i am struck by how the war is evolving, turkey, russia, japan etc.
i guess churchill is not yet PM.
