I'm sorry, it's unclear whose chute didn't open, O'Brien's or Klotz's?
Q fr @dougayoung Unteroffizier Irmfried Klotz: German who shot you down. Who shot him down March 5, 1944? A: My flight leader, Obie O'Brien I've visited the field where is plane crashed in France. And were he crashed - his chute didn't open. #WWII, #Nazi @usairforce #P51

Did German pilots routinely or rarely shoot at American pilots as they parachuted?

I was under the impression the opposite was true. Germans could make planes, (experienced) pilots were in short supply.
