I read of a case where the RAF gave full military funerals to some Luftwaffe aircrew much to the disgust of the locals who also objected to them being buried in their local churchyard. I don't whether it was RAF policy to do this in every case. Even RAF aircrew bailing out over England were sometimes shot at by the Home Guard. I think that one chap was killed.
