Wil's Rant

The vets are angry about a war museum display regarding the bombing campaign in Germany during WW2. Essentially, the display states that the practice of bombing German cities was effectively useless. I would have to disagree. We must remember that Germany was involved in the Battle of Britain which essentially targeted London for almost a year. Hitler had promised the German people that no bombs would fall on Germany. The bombing of the German cities discredited Hitler in Germany. It also enraged him to the point where he kept up the bombing of London, which had the effect of keeping his bombers away from more strategic targets thereby allowing the British to rebuild their airforce and industrial capabilities. In other words, there was a point to the whole thing. It very well may have prevented Britain from being invaded. It was certainly a dirty tactic, fact is, there were a great many dirty aspects to that war, and pretty much everyone since.
