That would be “Bomber” Harris, the RAF general who claimed killing as many German civilians as possible would end the war. He tried it for about 3 years, killed a few hundred thousand women and children, and accomplished nothing but making the Germans more angry and stubborn. Incidentally, the USAF bombed in daylight so they could see where their bombs were dropping, but the RAF bombed indiscriminately at night because it was “safer” for their crews. That part didn’t work out so well when the Germans developed radar-controlled flak guns and radar-equipped night fighters.

Yes that is him. I was just reminded of that yesterday as I finished the video. They called him "Butch" because he butchered the Germans. I felt that he was shown in a more positive light as they reminded us of who and what England was up against. The enemy was a hideous and brutal dictatorship and they were winning every conflict. We only bombed during daylight hours because our "new bomb sights" required line of sight. England didn't depend on that. The loss of planes and airman was terrible for England. Can you imagine getting on a plane with only about a 66 percent chance of returning, then doing it again the next day and then the next?

Once talked to a WW2 vet who said his name with the same tone my pastor talked about demons. I was young at the time but what I remember was basically England didn’t have anywhere near the capability to do what he wanted. So he ended up killing enough Fraulein and kinder to make the Nazis mad as all hell (and Lord help the man facing an angry German) while getting scarce war material and pilots lost.

I asked him what should’ve been done and he said “put every man-jack into a Spitfire and shot down every Hun we could get a bullet into until all their good crews were gone.”
