Re: Why was Coventry 'coventriert'?
Found this:
"On the evening of November 8, 1940, just at the time Hitler was to have addressed the old guard of the Nazi Party in the Lowenbraukeller of Munich to commemorate the seventeenth anniversary of the Beer Hall Putsch of 1923 -- Hitler's first attempt at revolution, which collapsed in a gunfight with police -- the RAF made a small, provocative raid on Munich"
More inclined to believe that Coventry was an industrial target, one of several selected for Moonlight Sonata, that suffered excessive collateral damage.
