Was that Hitler's sense of altruism and fair play, or a strategic unwillingness to waste assets?
Who knows? Let's ask him.
Both Hitler and Churchill were, by and large, enigmas. Churchill wrote volume upon volume about the history of WWII personal accounts of the Boer War, most of which I've read.
Incidentally, the Boer War, in which Churchill played a part, was an example of insane cruelty to a 'race' of people who were, by and large, innocents.
Anyone who says Hitler wouldn’t bomb civilian targets is an idiot or a liar.
At best Hitler was known for using a strangely muslim tactic of going easy on nations that allowed him in with little resistance. Once the nazis were in they could “peacefully” raid the riches of those nations, put jews on trains and eliminate distinct national cultures. Hitler knew that Britain was not going to go easily so Britain got the stick rather than the carrot.
