Re: Bombing civilian targets by the Luftwaffe?
"I am sure the attack was made to support ground troops."
Basically, from what I know, a target of a ground support attack are troops or other military value targets. As we all agree, there were no troops at Frampol and the town had no strategic value, especially that German troops were soon to enter it without any resistance. I will not say - because it was a town mainly inhabited by Jews....
Anyway, the question remains, why? No matter what is or will be the answer to that question, it was a purely civilian target and a war crime.
"I feel that we all have the benefit of hindsight, weren't actually there, not everything said at meetings or briefings would be recorded (as now) so we may never have full documentary proof anyway. "
David. As have demonstrated lately some events in Aghanistan, the case of bombing Canadian troops by US aviators, even today not everything is offcially signed or recorded.
