Re: Bombing civilian targets by the Luftwaffe?

Martin


[Regarding Frampol...
So, if not as a target practice of low level bombing (made a perfect target for that purpose), why it was attacked, especially when there were still others, more interesting targets?]


Indeed a very interesting question. But see, Frampol was bombed on the 13th September. German troops (the frontline) were nearby and the city was taken a few hours later. I am sure the attack was made to support ground troops. Similar to the attack on Wielun on 1.9.
The question is why somebody should make an experiment - destroying a town which a few hours later fell in German hands? Completely unlogical. The same questions concerning Wielun and Warsaw.
Could somebody show a German document describing such experimental attacks?

Could somebody mention a Polish town which was a civilian target without any doubt?
