the Germans had the Idea that they were free to bomb other nations cities harbours and industrial centers but nobody was going to bomb them listen to her goring on that one the Germans deserved every bomb that was dropped on them you only have to see the concentration camps they ran throughout the war murdering millions of people, no sympathy whatsoever.
-
An old German lady told me that they had to eat cats and dogs after the war ended. That was about the year 1999 in Heidelberg, Germany, that she told me that.
-
The bombing campaign never achieved its goal of stopping the will to fight, only their ability.

Do all of those old guys spend a lot of time at the beach or are they wearing more makeup than Fat Hermann?

NO DAMAGE TO WINDSOR CASTLE

Carpet bombing was the easy way...cut the need to develop smarter war winning strategies...lower level bombing and dive bombing (in close support of ground troops) achieved more effective results with less collateral damage...fact...bombing civilians is a war crime no matter who does it! As for dropping atom bombs...the biggest war crime of all! ⚖⚖⚖

the italian guy at 4:00 is hilarious

You must accomplish two things in order to win a war. You must destroy the enemy's ability to make war and you must destroy the enemy's willingness to resist. The ability to make war can be destroyed by killing soldiers and destroying the means to produce and to transport war materiel, including weapons, ammunition, food and clothing used by soldiers. Killing those who are engaged in the production and transport of war materiel is inevitable. Killing other civilians may destroy the enemy's willingness to make war but is a risky strategy. Doing so may harden the enemy's resolve to continue to resist.

MR TRUCULENT SAYS !!!!! Was the bombing of Dresden a British war crime. Well, the Germans had nearly defeated the British RAF. Then one German aircraft got lost and in haste dropped his bombs on London. Then the Germans under Hermann Göring started bombing British cities, so Churchill retaliated by bombing German Cities, giving a chance for us to rebuild our air force. Göring said he would bomb British Cities like Coventry, he even came up with the saying, we will Coventrise British cities. A lot of aircraft were built here. He also dropped bombs on major British cities killing many civilians. As it says it the documentary an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth Bomber Harris. Then there was the BLITZ on London. Was Bomber, Harris a good military man or as it says in the documentary a Butcher.

Very good documentary.Sad that so many lost their lives,but they followed their leaders when they asked for total war.And they were evil leaders! Many British women & children were machine gunned down by me109 on the Dover coast in the run up to invasion in 1940.They were terror raiders also, people forget that.

Mr. Armit's testimony at 1:01:42 is particularly moving.
-
The sign above Goebbels at 46:04 says "Total War-Shortest War".
-
Adolph Galland at 34:21. He once famously told Goering exactly what he thought of him.
-
Goering often wore facial make-up, lacquered his nails, and showed up at meetings high as a kite. During a formal meeting he once seriously proposed (to Albert Speer, who was present) that Germany should seriously consider making locomotives using concrete.
-
Air raid sirens in Germany soon became known as "Hermann's Trumpets".
-
England had the first fully-integrated air defense system in history. That was the secret of the "Battle of Britain".
-
The Luftwaffe was the most political of all the branches of the German military.

I'm at 23:53 and total nonsense. Churchill first ordered the Church ill attack against an innocent German civillian city as his correct strategy to Anger Hitler and cause Hitler to divert Hitlers devastating near total wipeout of English War airfields. ..and bomb innocent British cities Like London. Got real?
