Crappy CGI, too much “war is just” absurdity.

Not bad for such a small production… but they should have spent a few pennies more and hire a native The German without a foreign accent. :rolleyes:

At least they got those bast*rds & the other ones killed themselves.

Thats what we need in this country a man like him running the police force!

Are you serious?? 😮

It was a war of attrition,every major raid had a deep impact
on the German Industrial capability,even the secondary effect of reinforcing the Dams anti Aircraft protection was part of the attrition.’As soon as October’ means that a major power generation facility was out of action for 1/12th
of WW2 and much valuable material was used up during the repair.Beware armchair historians!!

Don`t behead the messenger… 😎

I assume it`s just a matter of perspective. The Brits concentrate on the brilliant attack, the Germans on it`s results.

The focus of this article was on the civilian casualties, and I think each side has the right to moan about their dead.

I did a history paper on this very poster when I was younger. Both sides produced some inspiring works to transmit public messages, boost morale, and motivate.

That`s true, indeed…

Here are 20 british examples, incl. some aircraft. Use the slider on the right to move forward:

Hi everyone, I am currently writing a book (nearly finished now) on Hertfordshires association with aviation. It covers WW1 Zeppelins etc, interwar years to 1945. A special section is dedicated to the German aeroplanes that fell in Herts from 1940-1941. I have been researching these for over 25 years and have contacted several former crew members. However one incident that I am particularly keen to obtain more details on is the crash of a KG55 Heinkel 111 at Hunsdon. This came down after being attacked by Hurricanes of 601 Squadron (one of the attackers was Willi Rhodes Moorhouse) and although it landed quite well caught fire. The crash site was later developed into Hunsdon aerodrome so as far as I can gather no small fragments of once molten alloy are metal detectable. Does anyone know of any photographs that were taken and are still available of this Heinkel, possibly in ex Hunsdon servicemens albums, and secondly does anyone know exactly where the Heinkel came down. I would like to hear from anyone with info on this incident and can be contacted via this forum or on [email]j.evenhart@ntlworld.com[/email]
Kind regards Julian

Very interesting, Julian
