Sounds like the clymer was calling all British WWII bombing as a war crime.
Sounds like the clymer was calling all British WWII bombing as a war crime. ............................... I think their major crime was using others to fight their wars. (i.e.)India lost more soldiers than Britain in WW II. Imagine what it would have been like if the non European Powers were not involved. Europe/UK today would be speaking German or Russian. The Royals would be living in Canada with Trudeau. Carpet Bombing cities and creating fire storms did little damage to the industry. Sure it killed the workers, along with their families, but production continued. The real damage was to the oil facilities and synthetic fuel production. The area bombing was a tit for tat operation, where one side did more damage because they were able to carry a heavier load of bombs, and it was safer to do it at night. At night the target was difficult to pin point, hence the larger spread of bombs needed. Just be grateful we didn’t experience it here. I’m sure we will eventually. Those poor bastards that flew those bombers over Germany were just guys obeying orders, they were no different than our guys. If they bombed cities while the civilians were sleeping, I am sure they had to live with it on their conscious. As for being in the Air Corp, they deserve a monument. Its easy for us to point fingers, because we were never in the position of having to point them up.
