Re: Bombing of Warsaw in 1939.. goals?
'The Luftwaffe War Diaries' by Cajus Becker outlines the backgound to the bombing of Warsaw. Briefly it claims that Warsaw had been turned into a Fortress City and the bombing of the 25th. Sept. was to get the city to surrender which one assumes was to avoid committing ground troops to house to house fighting.
