Thanks for that. I must point out that while you have quoted well known evidence to prove that there was a directive to target builltup areas within target cities/towns, that wasn’t the question that was raised by your earlier post: you said Lübeck wasn’t a legitimate target. For the reasons I touched on in post #10, Lübeck was emphatically a legitimate target. You replied that it was chosen because it would burn: like just about everywhere else in Europe, it was an old town and it burned. Attacking this port town, a vital conduit for Swedish high-grade iron ore for the German armaments industry, was clearly not a war crime.
