um er arent you arguing my point that it was pencilled in as a target
I dont see that one can argue that it cant have been a target because they did have a bomb to drop on it
History is of course being re written - and a decent wodge ( on the firebombing of Dresden ) has been re written to day before your very eyes
This is because history is a social construct and so is re written for every new generation. You might enjoy Michel Bloch's book, - what do historians do all day ?
