Subject: RE: BS: worst president ever?
So all the history books are wrong? The all night bombing of London on 23 August 1940, 2 days before the first Allied raid on Berlin, was by mistake?

Interested to see how that can be proved. A raid that lasted all night and blanketed an area of that size hardly seems to be the act of a rogue pilot droping his load to gain altitude.

That aside the Blitzkreig itself was always known to cause extemely high civilian casualties. Look at the blanket damage done and tell me that the perpetrators of this tactic did not intend killing civilians. The only difference between this destruction and that of tactical bombing is in name!

So, on hard evidence, not speculation, it does appear that the agressors were the Axis powers. All the destruction, be it Blitzkreig or tactical bombing was started by them. How can anyone persist in saying it was the Allies that started it?

Just interested.

Cheers
