Churchill stopped missiles – at British Jews' expense

Incoming V1 "flying bomb"
LONDON – With Nazi "flying bombs" raining down on the nation's capital and largest population center, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill made a fateful and agonizing decision to use a double agent to redirect the missiles toward the Jewish sector of the city, secret MI6 files reveal for the first time.

On June 14, 1944, Churchill gathered his top military advisers, including John Cecil Masterman, who ran the double-agents – spies recruited by the Nazis and sent to England only to be "turned" by the intelligence service to work for Britain.

Among the most daring recruits was Eddie Chapman, a Londoner who before the war had led a devil-may-care life as a safe cracker. He had fled to Jersey to avoid arrest for his latest crime – only to arrive there at the time the Germans invaded the island.

On that June night, the Air Ministry analysts had calculated the flying bombs, or doodlebugs, as they would be called, would continue to be aimed at Central London – at the Air Ministry headquarters in Kingsway and on Whitehall.

Hitler's campaign ended in August 1944. The doodlebugs had killed 6,184 people. In one of the documents in the Y-Files, Masterman noted: "This was one of the most difficult decisions Winston Churchill made."

Wow. Kinda makes 9/11 seem even more devastating. I assumed the British losses from the Nazi bombings were much higher.

That’s just the death toll from V1’s. The total was over 55,000 people killed by bombs in London.

The Germans were smart enough to know that the only real variable was distance, not deflection. If a double agent had told the Germans that the missles were missing downtown either to the lefy or right, they would have known something was amiss. The only believable lie was that the bombs were overshooting the target.

Anyone visiting england should not miss visiting the old bombed out Coventry Cathedral and the new one; the new one being completed in 1962.

If they learned of it, would British Jews see the decision to divert the doodlebugs as another example of what they regarded as indifference to the fate of their relations in Auschwitz, Dachau and Belsen-Bergen, whose liberation had begun to unmask the first horrors of the Holocaust?

They apparently don't only NOT know history, they don't even know how to read a calendar at WND.

Are they really so ignorant that they think that Dachau, Auschwitz and Belsen had been liberated by June 14, 1944?

Hey, Farrah, if you read this, the western Allies were still pinned down in Normandy on June 14. They wouldn't get to the Munich suburbs until 10 months later. The Russians got to Auschwitz in January 1945.
