I'm not a German/hitler sympathizer but it is a pretty well known fact that Churchill escalated the bombing of cities to save the English air force!

Both wars were all about the conquest of Russia...the two front was supposed to be only one---east!

It was dirty from the start to the end...and that's what the germans think---cheating??

I think it is more accurate to say that in Sept 1940 Göring diverted the blitz from direct attacks on British aviation to British cities and this proved a fatal error which spared the British air force.

Are you alluding to the widely held belief entertained in Germany during the war and afterwards that the Germans were waging war against eastern communism on behalf of the civilized world? The world had inexplicitly not appreciated the effort or the need for the effort but soon would. The memoirs of the German spy chief during and after the war are an example of this point of view.

The victors get to write the history books. Thus, in the Civil War, the United States put down a rebellion that sought to divide a nation. Yet, America fought for its indepedence from an overseas monarchy (to identify and protect undeniable freedoms).

Texas won its independence from Mexico but there are those today who want us to honor all of the war dead (from both sides) at the San Jacinto Monument (buried in unmarked graves). When Reagan went to a German cemetary where there were nazis (including SS officers) he committed a major blunder. Multiculturalism would now appear to permit such activity.
