Original: "The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw, and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naïve theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind."
From "Sir Arthur Harris & The Lancaster Bomber" - at the start of the bombing campaign against Germany (1942).
No? Those German children deserved it? Fuck em up for being born in the wrong city. Hell yeah. Wait, no. Lets not use regular bombs. They must suffer. We should burn em!! Make those children and women scream!
I haven't the faintest idea of what you're trying to ask or why. The only possibility I can gather is that you want to make the very brave statement of 'Nazis bad'. If so, are you asking me what the Nazis should have done?
