One third of the population of Pforzheim were members of the Nazi Party. The town was producing fuses for V2 rockets and was an important communications centre. My defenceless home town was devastated 5 years earlier by German bombers and hundreds of civilians were killed. To paraphrase Air Marshall Harris, Germany began bombing (Warsaw, Rotterdam, London, Coventry) in the nieve belief that no one was going to bomb them !
zwar hatten Hamburg und Dresden mehr Opfer zu beklagen, aber im Verhältnis zu der Einwohenerzahl war der Angriff auf Pforzheim der am meisten zerstörerische. Über 30% der Einwohner tot.... was für ein Wahnsinn...
What awful disrespect using that music to celebrate the destruction of this city. Awful.
