I am afraid to say it was we the Brits that led to the mass bombing of civilians, the first case of the Luftwaffe doing it was actually a mistake which they apologised for but the allies used it as an excuse to bomb Berlin which in turn led to the Luftwaffe targeting towns!

Wow Krupi, a link to a site that still refers to 'the Fuehrer'.

No thanks.

P.S. I'm a scoundrel then.

The word is Führer. It means leader. It doesnt say "mein Führer" which would give it the meaning of alligence.

Its a common German world still in use:

I know, I have a grade 'B' O level in German. However the umlaut is an abbreviation for 'ue' and I don't have an umlaut on my keyboard as far as I know. Back, too.

As a german I'd find this this third-hand rage amusing if it wasn't so sad. Haven't you guys something better to do?

Nazi is nazi.

IN HUMAN BEING HISTORY, THE FIRST MASS BOMBING OF CIVILLIANS IS GUERNICA.


Guernica is a painting by Pablo Picasso. It was created in response to the bombing of Guernica, Basque Country, by German and Italian warplanes at the behest of the Spanish Nationalist forces, on 26 April 1937, during the Spanish Civil War. The Spanish Republican government commissioned Picasso to create a large mural for the Spanish display at the Paris International Exposition at the 1937 World's Fair in Paris.

Guernica was a quiet village. The nearest military target of any consequence was a factory on the outskirts of the town, which manufactured various war products. The factory went through the attack unscathed. Thus, the motivation of the bombing was clearly one of intimidation. Furthermore, a majority of the town's men were away as they were fighting on behalf of the Republicans. Thus, the town at the time of the bombing was populated mostly by women and children.[14]

"Well done", German bombers, and their fans 70 years later.
