Bombing of Warsaw in 1939.. goals?

[Marius]

John,

please show me where I did personally attack Mirek or someone other? As you wrote "guys" I think you mean us both (?!).


Mirek,
What you are doing here is not fair. Please show me where my "opinions" are of "neo-fascism" kind. Please with title, page ond so on.

Furthermore please quote a document showing us that the bombings on Warsaw were not directed against enemy troops but against civilians (even maybe with the intention to terrorize the people?).

And please comment The Hague Conventions (Art.25, 27 ... - about defended and undefended cities and so on) concerning Warsaw in September 1939.

In forward many thanks!
Marius

P.S.Mirek, interestingly you are writing about books written in Poland in the sixties & seventies!

for Marius these books are not credible becasue he does not belive in any Polish decuments, memories; thinking about them as total false, not true and credilbe - only Polish propaganda and myth.

You better should differe documents from memories and legends. Please show us the documents presented there.

Hello,

bombing civilian targets is part of aerial warfare...
You bomb civilian targets to get down the moral of the civil population and their support to the leadership...
Why did the americans and the british bomb german, japanese and italian cities???
I'm not saying that it's nice... but it helps winning a war...

[Rasmussen]

... and so we have to speak (with the words from Mirek Wawrzynski) from "simple terror or bandids (American/ British) bombs attacks on civil's homes, hospitals, power plants, etc ..." --- or not?

The mentioned things and a lot of old churches and historical houses were destroyed during the great bomb raid in December 3/4, 1943, against Leipzig --- all important war targets.

Only a thought for Mr. Wawrzynski.

A war must be fougth to win it... civilian casualties are part of every war... The big problem ist that shooting on the Germans is easier than shooting on the Red Cross... The damages caused by german bombers on the UK were nothing if cosidered to the damages and casualties caused by allied bombers... but Germany lost the war... Goering would have been sentenced to dead if he wouldn't have committed suicide... Harris got a statue ( The city of Dresden protested against it... ) ...
The allied didn't any experimentation on jews... but as war ended they pretended from the japaneese their research material on experiments using living humans... and they probably got also all the datas from the german experiments...
In Italy, where I leave, the comunist partisans commited atrocities that the germans didn't even think about... but they won the war... so the germans are the evil... and all wath the commies did was done to liberate Italy...

The winners writes history for their advantage...

Herr Hauptmann,

Never before I took part in these tough disscussions but I have to make one first and last note on your extra-simple and outrageous view on the problem(s).

Some Third Reich admirers writes history for their advantage...

P.s. When you are speaking about evil, please visit my country and a lot of local museums will show you how Germans "worked" with Lidice, Lezaky, etc.

I see no really useful purpose in continuing this thread. No real "research" or "documentation" is being done, merely diatribes from both sides.

The war of aggression that Nazi Germany launched against Poland was aimed at territorial conquest and the enslavement of the population in the name of Lebensraum in the East and a bunch of quasi-mystical claptrap about the "destiny" of the German "race."

The Luftwaffe had no legitimate reason to be in Polish airspace at all.
