    USAAF Bombed during DAYLIGHT HOURS.

    RAF/RCAAF units bombed at NIGHT.

    Russians did not participate in Strategic bombing and needed USAAF/RAF Units to bomb for them where they attacked.

    Soviet Air Forces were Ground Attack (IL-2 Sturmavick) and smaller Bombers like the
    Petlyakov PE-2

    IL-2 Sturmavick (TOP), Petlyakov PE-2 (Bottom)




    You know, the last time I was in Germany and saw a man standing above everybody else, we ended up disagreeing.

    Jafar needs to finally decide whether he is pro or anti terrorist, and stick to one position or the other, with total consistency.

    Support for Hamas, and for the actions Hamas takes, IF this continues, is a position utterly incompatible with being 'anti' terrorist.

    We surely all know that.

    While the pretexts are different, Israel certainly possesses legitimate targets as well and the ethical implication of indiscriminant attacks against a foe is subject to the same scrutiny IMO. But more often is the case that those with the greater power decide not just the rules but who violated them. Naturally, the more powerful are almost always deemed justified--that's the reality, though hardly is this the truth.

    Please forgive me once again, as I'm only quoting a fine chap here:

    You would think the war was over. You guys lost. Get over it!

    The State of Palestine existed, then, Jafar ? Yes ?

    What, precisely, did the 'Zionists' 'invade' ?

    And back in 1948, did the UN sanction 'invasion' .. ?

    Are you advocating the factories , rail yards and military targets there were dormant or that Germany had surrendered ? Because if you are not advocating either of those two then you must be calling for a kinder gentler war while speculating that those bombings did not save American soldiers 's lives.

    Blame autocorrect 7.0. Substitute Israelis if you please. Ne'er denied Israel's existence or its right to.

    lol. Advocating? I'm talking about the facts--the German army, Luftwaffe and war machine was a skeleton and well on their heels. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for ruthless and devastating attacks against a sworn enemy to bring about their capitulation but I don't put on pretenses of it being any more righteous than when an enemy does.


    Speculation? The estimates on the number of lives saved by those bombings is speculation; whereas the tens of thousands of civilians killed in the operation is FACT. At that point the majority of Germany's defenses were positioned to the northeast against Russia; indeed allied losses in the Dresden campaign were less than 1%, and only after complete success in their first run did they even target areas of military significance like railyards-- thus the scorched earth policy was the primary intent and, given the timing after Yalta, it was more a function of political rather than military necessity. Again though, I am not seeking to demonize these actions; its an act of war, and war is a terrible thing-- I just don't think it any more morally egregious when another does it either.

    Yes, Palestine did exist. Have a look at a few maps made a century ago or so and you will find it.

    Yet you deny the right of the Palestinians to exist and to live in their own homes. Don't call hypocrisy on me.
