This from #25
In August of 1940, two aircraft were seperated from their formation and wound up lost while evading fighters over England. They jettisoned a negligible amount of bombs over London resulting in little damage.
Do you not understand what a ‘firebomb’ is?
I'm familiar with the term. What I am questioning is the above assertion, and the one made in #74 that the UK originated the targeting of 'civilian centers'. Warsaw predates UK bombing of Germany. Or don't the Poles count?
We were addressing the use of ‘firebombs’ utilized by the two powers against each other.
The very first firebomb was dropped by the UK on the German port city of Emden in early 1941.
The reason I didn’t mention Poland was that the original discussion was regarding the UK and Germany.
Let’s go do something else. I’m getting as bored as I got during this morning’s homily.
