Luftwaffe Night Fighters engage British bombers (Aug 1943)

[junkman19571]

should've flattened germany and let russia have whats left......this woul be justice after what the so called master race did to women,children,the old and sick......

[MrBEB123]

I really hate to see Whites fighting Whites like this. Being the Germans were on the side of the White race and the Allies were on the side of Jews and Negros I would therefore have to side with the Germans. I cannot be against my own race.

Churchill and Harris are the same massmurder likehitler or stalin

[bren567da]

@artregal If Harris had not insisted on 1000 bomber raids we would not have won the war.My father flew in Halifax bombers 34 trips over Germany at night.

@artregal

Trouble is the Germans started the war and we had to finish it. Trouble is if you use kid gloves you can't finish any fight and the Germans were brilliant fighters as we all know. Fight fire with fire and all that. You cannot even start to compare Churchill and Harris with Hitler and Stalin. Christ read a few, no a load more, books on the subject.

Die Nachtjäger kämpften noch gut gegen die englischen Bomber.

1942 British Directive 22 was issued to Bomber HQ, be "focused on the morale of the enemy civil population and in particular of the industrial workers." Factories were no longer targets in NIGHT raids.

Inaccuracy was such any bomb falling within 5 miles of the target was a "hit" for statistical purposes, yet Germans could not decide which town had been intended, scattering of bombs was so wide.

Know that USAAF did the "precision DAY-light" bomb raids boldly in full view.

[LIVERPOOLSCOTTISH]

@1236bigcat Nonsense. Regarding the quote about accuracy & bombs landing in a 5 mile radius, that relates only to RAF Bomber Commands early efforts in the war. As technology improved ie G, H2S & Oboe, so did accuracy, especially after Pathfinder Force was introduced. US claims of precision bombing are complete nonsense. When the RAF eventually got hold of a Norden bomb sight, they were not impressed by it, it did not offer any improvement over the RAF sight. USAAF used H2X aka H2S- BRITISH kit!

[LIVERPOOLSCOTTISH]

@1236bigcat If you want to discuss accuracy, perhaps you would like to talk about the Dams raid? How about the Amiens Prison attack? Mosquitos at 20 ft dropping their retarded bombs with pinpoint accuracy. How about the raid on the Phillips Radio factory? Hitting Tirpitz from 20,000 ft with THREE Grandslam bombs? Please do provide examples from the USAAF which match any of the aforementioned raids in terms of accuracy. The USAAF failed to land ONE bomb on Omaha beach on D-Day! ROFL

STOP - both sides weren´t able to bomb their targets - on 05-12-1940 and the following day RAF bombed Monchngladbach n Duisburg "trying to hit" industrial targets. but it was a single He-111 on 08-25-1940 London which failed and comletele unload to civilians - RAF answered with a minor raid to Berlin (at that time reaching Berlin was harder than just over the channel) ... the counterattack to this was a tactical switching of Luftwaffe by childish leaders to bomb anything in south england ...

[Dubwise78]

@TheStef, first u say u cant agree with either side bombing cities, then u say RIP to 'just' Luftwaffe pilots for protecting their homeland? If I remember correctly, it was German pilots who started bombing civilians. Look up Coventry or the Blitz. The Luftwaffe invented bombing cities, testing the new tactic on defencless Spaniards at Guernica. Man, you need a history lesson.

[TheStefancelmare]

I can not agree civilian killers! Neither German nor Allies. I can not say from my soul ''RIP`' to Bomber Pilots anyway. U.K and USAAF bombers were killing civilians and firing cities with fire bombs(napalms) even almost end o fthe war. WHY? Just for killing more women'children and wounded soldiers in cities.Already young men were already dead or fighting breavly to the end for homeland. RIP just for luftwaffe pilots who were protecting homeland.

[LIVERPOOLSCOTTISH]

@TheStefancelmare No napalm weapons were used by either RAF BC, of the USAAF in the European theatre. You are talking utter nonsense. Napalm was first used by the RAF in SE Asia against the Japanese. The RAF dropped HE bombs & incendiary bombs on Germany, totally different from napalm. Keep waffling- don't let the TRUTH hinder you!

[LIVERPOOLSCOTTISH]

@TheStefancelmare RIP for the Luftwaffe pilots fighting for the murderous, odious Nazi regime!? Down with the allies, who liberated Germany from an evil tyrann??t! Bollocks to you! Hitler's Germany started the war, the Allies finished it.
