Why do we constantly find the need to criticise and condemn ourselves, for our past actions?

The usual anti british suspects are out in force I see.

I'm glad you think so, AOG.

58,000 died in Bomber Command ALONE in ww2.

I would have felt privileged to be a Lancaster Crew member.

A job had to be done and from 30,000 feet i would have had no feelings for those on the ground.......military or civilian.

.they came second and you know my philosophy in life....." there are no prizes for coming second."

or as Goebels said: The victors write the histories" - echoed surprisinngly by the archbishop or canterbury a few years ago. I did write and tell him.

We have had a lot about Dresden on another thread

Apparently A Grayling says it wasnt a war crime and so it cant be

The Germans have moved on from the victim narrative of history and conceded: that's how you win wars.
other comment that the many slave labourers in the Todt Organisation woud have welcomed it

It doesnt surprise me the Beeb havent updated their views
Jenny Hill was commenting that other place got bombed flat such as Coventry and Warsaw

oops - Warsaw was blown up block by block and not particularly bombed after Sep 1939. in 1945 the average wall in warsaw was 3 1/2 inches high
