12th SS and shot down allied pilot

Soldiers of 12. SS-Panzer-Division "Hitlerjugend" salvage a shot down Allied fighter bomber pilot in Normandy. A quite interesting photo since these particular pilots weren't too popular with the German troops permanently haunted by the "Jabos".

Well, but in the end they were POWs. I read somewhere that, despite their nasty reputation, the 12th SS actually took one of the highest amount of POWs in Normandy. No data to confirm it, though.
