I think British people are very interested in this subject. I had a conversation with two English friends recently abut this subject. We were talking about Hiroshima and they were condemning it. I said: that's fine but just don't bring that up with your average member of the “greatest generation” - they think it ended the war and saved countless American lives. From there, we went to Dresden which one condemned and one supported. Then they fought about poor Bomber Harris’s reputation. Finally, we ended with the bombing of Coventry - which both thought was horrible but not as bad as Dresden - because, get this: Coventry’s architecture was not as important as Dresden.

But you couldn't say my pals weren't interested...

I dont revel in the deaths of women and children, but the raid was justified. And we have nothing to apologise for.
Except maybe a generation of historical ignorants.
