Holotruther

The MYTH of German Villainy, Benton Bradberry, Chap 22, The Allied Goal? Destruction of Germany: Frederick A. Lindemann, later known as Lord Cherwell, was a Jew (although this is disputed by some) born in Germany and raised in England. He went back to Germany to obtain a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Berlin, returning to England. He was an early pioneer of British aviation technological development, and when Churchill became prime minister, he appointed Lindemann as the British government’s (and his) leading scientific advisor. Lindemann saw Churchill almost daily for the war’s duration and wielded the most influence of any civilian adviser. Lindemann was described as having “an almost pathological hatred for Nazi Germany, and an almost medieval desire for revenge was a part of his character.” As a Jew, he harbored a pathological hatred not only of Hitler’s regime but of Germany and the German people. Vengeance against the Germans motivated his every action and opinion, and he was a leading advocate from the start of “area bombing” of German cities, and devised a plan to carry it out. Lindemann’s plan proposed Britain should forget military targets and concentrate air a9acks on Germany’s civilian population in order to break the morale of the German people. After their morale was broken, he believed, as did Churchill, the German public would demand an unconditional surrender. His plan proposed: . . . bombing must be directed to working class houses. Middle class houses have too much space round them, so are bound to waste bombs . . . It should be emphasized that the destruction of houses, public utilities, transport and lives, the creation of a refugee problem on an unprecedented scale, and the breakdown of morale both at home and at the ba9le fronts by fear of extended and intensified bombing, are accepted and intended aims of our bombing policy. They are not by-products of a9empts to hit factories. In other words, killing massive numbers of civilians should be the primary aim of bombing raids. Lindemann was not writing in a vacuum when he created his plan. Solomon “Solly” Zuckerman and J.D. Bernal (also a communist activist), both Jews, did studies on the effects of area bombing on structures and people, and both became strong advocates of massive bombing of Germany. Bombing cities as a means of waging total war had already become an accepted strategy among the members of Britain’s war party, and they began developing and building long-range, heavy bombers as early as 1933. The U.S. did the same. The Lancaster, the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, and the Consolidated B-24 Liberator were built for no purpose except to destroy cities and inflict massive casualties on the German population. Military operations require small, fast, tactical planes. Thousand plane armadas of four-engine, heavy strategic bombers had no military purpose. U.S. Air Force fighter pilot Robin Olds —a “triple ace” with 17 victories in WWII and Vietnam—who retired as a brigadier general after 30 years of service, stated more than once the so-called strategic bombing program was ineffective, wasteful, and pointless. It is generally acknowledged today strategic bombing did not shorten the war by a single day, and in the end, served no military purpose. After all, Germany reached her highest level of war production in the last months of the war when the bombing was most intense. Olds, among many others, was of the opinion fighter bombers carrying a single bomb flying low and fast would have been far more effective against German military and strategic targets. He said a single P-51 Mustang fighter-bomber could have dropped a 500-pound bomb through the window of any factory in Germany. It was impossible to hit a factory with a huge formation of bombers flying at 25,000 feet without destroying everything for miles around it. He also emphasized this would have greatly minimized civilian casualties. Perhaps Olds was naive. Perhaps he did not understand that the very purpose of strategic bombing was to maximize civilian casualties. In a word, the purpose of strategic bombing was genocide. While Britain and the U.S. were building thousands upon thousands of four-engine, long-range, heavy bombers, designed for no other purpose than the destruction of cities and the slaughter of massive numbers of civilians, Germany built only maneuverable, light, low-altitude bombers designed for ground support. These planes were unsuitable for genocidal terror bombing. Hitler only undertook the bombing of British civilian targets reluctantly, three months after the RAF began a campaign of carpet-bombing German cities. Hitler would have been willing at any time to stop the slaughter. Churchill’s war cabinet adopted Lindemann’s plan in March 1942, which then became Britain’s official policy. This war cabinet decision was kept a closely guarded secret from the British public throughout the war and for many years afterwards. The British people were told only military and industrial targets were bombed, and any damage beyond that was unintentional.
