juan_gandhiА вы в курсе, что происходило с американскими военными лётчиками, совершавшими вынужденную посадку где-нибудь в Сибири или Владивостоке во время войны? Их интернировали, согласно Женевской конвенции. Логика заключалась в том, что США воевали с Японией, а СССР - нет.

" It all started with the famous Doolittle Raiders. One crew, Lt. York’s, due to a fuel shortage, landed north of Valdivoltok instead of China, and were instantly interned. Over the next three years thirty six other crews, for a total of 291 Americans met the same fate. With the exception of 4 B-29 crews of the 29th Air Force, these airmen were members of the old Army Air Corps and Navy Air Wing 4 form the Aleutian Islands. They were flying missions against the Japanese Kurile Islands."
" The last group, of which I was a member was released after the war had ended."
" On October 3, 1992 at the banquet following the 11th Air Force Reunion Air Force Lt. Gen. Tom McInerney made a surprise presentation of the P.O.W. medal to the members that were present, recognizing them 47 years after the fact."
