After looking at such pictures I think that the bombers and the people who gave the
orders would have fit better into Hitler's Nazi army than into the allied's.

Hi

The pictures are a good reminder.

Parts of London Docklands remained flattened into the 1980's.

It is sad to think that some areas were destroyed twice 1914-1918 and 1939-1945.

Futility ?

Compelling site. I add my gratitude to that already expressed.

Actually, the Nazi's had their very own bombers and people who gave orders.

Probably, but just out of curiosity, what makes you think that 'Nazi' takes an
apostrophe in the plural ?

Why, flame bait for the grammatically ennobled, of course.

Well, I was expecting to see competely flattened cities and piles of burnt bodies
like in Cologne, Hamburg and Dresden, but they all seem to be high altitude aerial
photographs, same kind of stuff the military shows us nowadays of Iraq, Afghanistan
etc. Maybe you should show some pictures of what Europe looked like in 1933?

The stories you have included made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, and a
couple of tears welled up in my eyes.

Incredible.

I wish I could forget some of them.But in the small hours of the night they keep
coming back and won't leave me alone.

We are drowning in futility. But it is the nature of the human animal to survive no
matter what.

Thanks, but coming from a German family who narrowly avoided destruction on the
eastern front when the Russian army piled in through Prussia (evacuated by the German
army at the last second), and living with those stories and photos, I don't need any
reminders. My family lost everything in the war; my grandfather was a publisher and
an employee of his *hitchhiked* across war-destroyed Germany to bring him several
million marks stuffed into two suitcases. A year afterwards, all the money was
worthless. On a day my dad stayed home from school, the school was bombed and half
his classmates still in school (equivalent of jr high) were killed. And so on.

I'm glad that you say that. It's not that I want you to be troubled, but I am pleased
that you are sufficiently humane that such things trouble you.

I worry about the bastards who don't care.

I would like to believe that.

I suspect that some of those who sent them didn't care enough.
