Default Re: OT:splendid WWII movie you\'ll never see:(

Well and good but :

- it doesn't deny the fact that zone bombing as defined by the levelling of entire area was abandonned in Europe due to lack of results, as can be found in Liddell Hart's books, or Perret's Air War book.

- I stand by my point : Hambourg was the most succeful raid, ALL following massive raids suffered from unsatisfactory results (and heavy casualties for some)

- Dresden
The war was finished. The question that history still ask is "why was this city bLasted out of existence while the war was won ?".

Then the points I was contesting the most are :

- "Civilians are ligitimate targets"
In europe bombing of civilians targets to advance military purpose was abandonned toward transportation/factory bombing. I stand by my point and still wait for your sources.

- "The allies knew that the Germans were on the verge of a fission bomb."
Hollywood. Not reality. I stand by my point and still wait for your sources.

- "The Allies were in no position to not press their advantage once they had gained it"
Look at any WW2 author, you must be joking. I stand by my point and still wait for your sources.

- "gutted manpower"
I made my point clear. I stand by my point and still wait for your sources.

- "The people of England had been at war a very long time and were worn down by the weight of it."
Point taken about the newspaper controlled by the gouvernment. However, I stand by my point that there was no way the war could end without Hitler's head on a spike. Especially for the Brits. What's your arguments and sources ?
