Re: Books about Luftwaffe and air war by Olaf Gröhler

I found an interesting interview with Dr.Horst Boog regarding the bombing of Wielun and the myths around it :

Re: Books about Luftwaffe and air war by Olaf Gröhler

Could you summarize what Boog says in the two last paragraphs (mentioning Mölders and Nowotny) as my German was overwhelmed in trying to decipher that.

Re: Books about Luftwaffe and air war by Olaf Gröhler

Boog is primary critisizing this german TV programm :

http://www.zdf.de/ZDFde/inhalt/10/0,...185322,00.html

where the Wielun was presented in a sensationalized way with such sentences like "The history of WW2 has to be rewritten" as such stuff . Interestingly those jounarlists contacted Dr.Boog while producing this stuff , he told them clearly where they may find primary sources for the case Wielun , but instead of doing this research they presented Treckners claims as facts . He clearly points out that there are no primary sources backing up the claim of "Terrorbombing" , au contraire , they clearly show that it was a "normal" tactical attack . He was very angry about this "sensationalized" presentation and the stupid employment of Generalisation in this programme .

Then he comes to the allegations against Mölders and Nowotny in German TV , which were not backup with facts anyway , just with plump claims .



In my opinion he is right , because if we research historic events it is our duty to divide claims from facts ! And , as I took a look on the locked discussion regarding the Topic of Wielun and Frampol , I was shocked that those contributors who still claim the allegation of "Terrorbombing" where unable to present any primary sources backing up their claim . Thats more than unprofessional on historic research . If have already seen to many WW2--myths that shattered into pieces as someone did real research on them .

Just my humble 2 cents ,
