Re: Bombing civilian targets by the Luftwaffe?
It is only risky if you are set on establishing this case solely on guilt instead of intend.
There is no pointing finger (unless I count the argument against possible Polish attrocities, which I would like to ignore altogether) towards the allied side in an attempt to play tit for tat. At no point has anyone tried to whitewash acts of German Schrecklichkeit.
The original question tried to establish a clear moment when German intend was clear, even as a secondary objective. To establish proof in doctrine and operational planning etc.
Or are we now going to discuss explosive chocolate bars and bats with incendiary bombs attached?
I am afraid that at this stage this thread has reached the limits of my personal interest.
