Re: Books about Luftwaffe and air war by Olaf Gröhler
Jens,
1. Do you know when exactly he died?
2. The readers have bought and read the book and not the dissertation. But why should it differe from the book?
Many people are using the book as a reliable source (look at the German war crimes exposition!). But nevertheless I have presented the original document here on the forum. So you can compare it with the "cut out" done by Gröhler. The authors intention was very clearly.
3. I wrote earlier that in many countries there were discussions about the possibilities and effects of an air war against civilians. This German document is clearly showing it was also done in Germany (discussed does not mean here executed).
You will not find a single target in Polish campaign that was bombed with the intention of demoralizing civilians. There was no time to and no need to do such things.
On the other hand before the war in Poland there were plans to bomb German cities, for example Königsberg (with the modern P.37 bombers). Was here the intension clear?
