..I bet you're telling me next that Montgomery was a great general

You're just trolling with the Himmler comment so I won't rise to the bait.

You're also trolling with the Montgomery mention but for the record I do think that Montgomery was a great general.

I am not convinced it is a "known fact" that area bombing was a bad idea. There are arguments for and against. You're entitled to your opinion of course, as am I.

It is illuminating that the existing Harris memorial was paid for by those that he commanded. Maybe those that did the actual job had/have the right take on things.
