Let us not forget the RAF did shoot the Bombers down because they tried & nearly suceded in flaterning some Major Citys & Killing thousands of innocent people including women & Children.Any way it is OK for the Upper Class to Sing Hitler Has only got one Ball
Don't think that's the point, the Luftwaffe killed c. 50K UK civilians, we killed upto 450K German civilians.
They damaged a number of UK cities, we destroyed almost all of theirs.
There are aspects of the area bombing campaign conducted by RAF Bomber Command that are, at best, questionable - for instance continuing area bombing when navigation had improved to such an extent that point attacks were perfectly feasible and would, almost certainly, have done more to shorten the war.
Probably best not to drag it up. People in glass houses.....
