 FACT: SPOILER: Germans placing pilots in the same POW camp with  ground troops.The way the German POW system was organized had the  Wehrmacht (German Army) in charge of ground forces POWs, the  Luftwaffe (German Air Force) in charge of air forces POWs, and the  Kriegsmarine (German Navy) in charge of naval POWs. So the Germans  would never have sent pilots, (regardless of their race), to a  ground forces POW camp, even temporarily.
