Re: Operation Bodenplatte (the real story?)
Quote:
Surrendering would have saved a lot of lives but that wasn't something the people running Germany were much concerned about. Quote:
Was Galland's vision of a Großer Schlag against Ameican bombers really any more realistic than Bodenplatte or just another example of the Luftwaffe's late-war dreams of some big spectacular to damage their enemies' morale? See also Drachenhöhle, the planned Mistel strike on Scapa Flow.
