Att Arthur Harris blint trodde på bombkriget som snabbaste vägen till seger är allmänt känt, men det fanns andra som hade åsikter i frågan.
Sagt i radio av en känd brittisk författare under kriget, har inget datum tyvärr. Vem var författaren?Bombing is not especially inhumane. War itself is inhumane and the bombing plane, which is used to paralyse industry and transport, is a relatively civilised weapon.
'Normal' or 'legitimate' warfare is just as destructive of inanimate objects and enormously so of human lives. . .The people of Britain have never felt easy about the bombing of civilians and no doubt they will be ready enough to pity the Germans as soon as they have definitely defeated them.
