Re: Perssonel LW's losses over Poland IX 1939?

Mister Mirek Wawrzynski,
I cannot answer to all the nonsenses you wrote. Just two short examples why you are completely wrong.

1.
HTML Code:
    These statements contradict the German orders of 22 September 1939 issued by Wolfrma Freiherr von Richthofen on 22 September 1939 "Luftangriffe der Planung auf Warschau".
 Richthofen writes, inter alia, in section "5 Beantrage dringend letzte Möglichkeit von Brand-und groß angelegten Terrorangriffen als Versuch auszunutzen (...) ".
  
 The term "von Brand-und Terrorangriffen" means the fire and terrorist attack done from the air (as I understand it in German).
You see in the sentence "Brand- und Terrorangriff" only. Much more important is the word "beantrage". This means "I propose".
I wrote in "Kampfflieger" (page VII) that the question of terror attacks was discussed, but wasn`t realized. At the same page (VII) you will find a project of an order (Weisung) to destroy Warsaw on the 11.9.1939. It wasn`t realized.

2.
Even if 100 Polish historians would write the attacks on Warsaw were terror bombings, they all would be wrong.

HTML Code:
Under international law - the Hague Rules of 1923, Article 23 - there is a clearly written that: it is prohibited to air bombardment to terrorize civilian populations, destroying or damaging private property not having a military character, and to inflict wounds niekombatantom.
Warsaw was not a civilian target because of the military in the town.
By the way the Hague Rules of 1923 were not ratified (adopted). So you must go back to the Hague Rules of 1907, but it makes no difference. You are writing about a military defended place, of course a military target then.

If you will tell us Mr.Emmerling is falsifying anything you have to proof it. Where are the hard facts?

Regards,
