Forgotten Casualties: Downed American Airmen and Axis Violence in World War II Hall Kevin T.
Sheds new light on the mistreatment of downed airmen during WWII and the overall relationship between the air war and state-sponsored violence.Throughout the vast expanse of the Pacific, the remoteness of Southeast Asia, and the rural and urban communities in Nazi-occupied Europe, over 120,000 American airmen were shot down over enemy territory during World War II, thousands of which were mistreated and executed. In Forgotten Casualties, author Kevin T Hall examines Axis violence inflicted on downed Allied airmen during this global war.Compared to all other armed conflicts, World War II exhibited the most widespread and ruthless violence committed against airmen. The perpetrators were not solely fanatical soldiers or Nazi zealots but also ordinary civilians triggered by the death and devastation inflicted by the war.
