Yes, they lost me there, too.
Quite frankly I am on the side of Bomber Harris and Margaret Thatcher. I don’t regard Harris to be a ‘war criminal’ as this article blithely calls him.
And I notice that the site also has an article called ‘Winston Churchill and the Indian Holocaust.’
I am most definitely out.
If Harris was a war criminal, so was Curt LeMay. I see them as men who shortened ugly wars.
Especially when one realizes that Germany had a steady campaign of dropping bombs on the civilian population of Great Britain.
