Bombing of the cities is a war crime, everywhere it is done. The war crimes were bombings of London and Warsaw and bombing of Hamburg, Dresden and Cologne. It is obvious. War or revange is no excuse. If allies considered themselves as standing on the good side, they should not use the means which was used by the nazi bombings earlier. And furthermore, bombing of Dresden was useless from the strategic point of view, when III Reich army was defeated. The city was full of refugees, they died there.

@timeallows and you fuckiing Americans had no right to attack Europe. You started both world wars on Germany, together with your British friends.
The Germans declared war back on the USA in Dec. 1941. Why does your country lie about it? Roosevelt had attacked German ships long time before the Germans declared war back.
You fucking Americans should stay home. Nobody has invited you to Europe. You should pay reparation for destroying all these beautiful cities.

Pangloss you nearly had me in tears after reading this latest post Tears of LAUGHTER Shame about this ,same about that ,it makes me sick . You make me sick but do I whine on NO
Editor, you should change the title of this video. It shows the last fights and the occupation of Cologne in march 1945 but nothing about the 1000 bomber raid to Cologne.
@pedowife4kids This video consists of extracts from a tv programme, titled The 1000 Bomber Raid on Cologne. Perhaps The Aftermath of the 1000 B.......... would be more fitting. Even though I agree with you, I am not going to change the title, had only one other complaint about the title in two years.
@schritzy Well, it's a very relevant point - even if only 2 individuals have raised it so far. Which is dismaying, isn't it? What have all the others been watching? This is indeed film material recorded by the Americans in early March 1945. Exactly this same film, correctly identified, can be seen elsewhere on Youtube with a German-language commentary. Thus it has nothing to do with the 1942 bombing raid. But ... in 2 years only two people notice the error. So that makes it all right then.
you cant justify this amount of destruction especially against women and children and old people. We need to hang our heads in shame and to remember that during the terror of the bombings it was pure hell for them.
@jplully "Al those beautiful buildings ! It makes me sick !"
Cologne, with its 12 Romanesque Churches, from the 10th and 11th centuries - all flattened with no military purpose: St Apostles, St Gereon, St. Pantaleon, St. Martin, St, Severin, St. Georg, St. Cecilia, St. Maria Lux, St.Maria Capitol, St. Andreas, St. Kunibert.
In Hildesheim, the 8th-Century churches, St. Mikael and the Cathedral were burnt down in 1945 to train young RAF pilots. The small Mediaeval town had no defence.
"Doesn't it? The destruction of Dresden's Mediaeval quarters was like the flattening of similar quarters in Delft or Strassburg, its Baroque was like in Vienna, the cupola of the Frauekirche was like that of Sain Paul's in London or like that of Pantheon, Paris. Zwinger was one of the most significant Late Baroque palaces in Europe. The castle was of Renessance style, close to the Tudor style in England."
America kicks ass. You Germans got what you deserved! Oh America is so terrible blah blah you guys are so unoriginal. I am of german descent and what you guys did in WW1 and 2 is the most terrible thing I have ever seen except for maybe the mongol conquests. The Germans killed 20 million Russian civilians by the end of the war and God knows how many Poles, Jews, Greeks, English, etc.
@MactheGreat123 I had a German born mother and a grandfather that fought in WW1 in the German army. You know nothing of WW1, the Treaty and the cause of WW2. Did you know that the British killed 750,00 civilians during one blockade during the winter of 1917? God knows how many American Indians, Black Slaves and others the Americans killed over the centuries. Don't talk so foolishly.
@MactheGreat123 Stalin killed about 40 million of his own kind before WW2 even started. Where do you get you you sound bites? Mao Tse Tung killed 60 million of his own and we do business with that shit country which is still a dictatorship.
@MactheGreat123 The U.S. and the U.K. have had more wars than Gemany by a long shot. Even Iraq was unjustfied. You have no idea of what really went on there.
There was a news black out here....not as when Vietnam was on. As an American citizen, you digust me with your cliche mainstream half-baked knowledge.
germans did not start WW1,were not solely responsible for WW2 (england made a world war out of a local conflict between germany and poland, which occupied german territory) and they did not kill 20 mio russian civilians.

@gsboy14 Auch der Dom wurde schwer getroffen. Ich glaube es waren mehrere Volltreffer von Sprengbomben und einige hundert Brandbomben. Aber man hat die Schäden zum Teil noch während der Kampfhandlungen behoben um einen Einsturz der Türme zu verhindern.
German towns were bombed without mercy ,the dirty Communists in the east side and fucking yankees and british in the west ,US and BRITONS were the weakest ones to find civilians in Dresden as an easy targets ! because face to face with the Wermacht they couldn't do so!
How many peoples were killed in Palestine by the few remaining JEWS since 1948? and how many Iraqi children were killed for your fucking democracy?and you're still killing innocent people in Afghanistan!!i'm Algerian and dirty fucking Frenchies killed 1 500 000 that means the half of the whole population that time ! what can i say about that ?
That shows us that the Americans and Brits did war crimes. So the result for us Germans must be to leave the NATO and the EU. Both organisations are criminal organisations. Both organisations are for the interest of Americans and brits. We must take our german soldiers home from Afghanistan and other places. German soldiers haven´t nothing to search in other countries. We are doing only the work for the american imperialists. No german blood for foreign interests.
American and Brits did war crimes -- what army has not. At least those armies try very hard to maintain discipline. But guess which group of low lives in a very disciplined way created data bases of Jews, Catholic and Protestant clergy, homosexuals, mentally ill, Russians, Poles, German military, handicapped, Gypsies, politicals, etc then rounded them up (for resettlement!), put them in starvation camps, industrially gassed and incinerated them? Mmm? Nazis! Man a bunch of losers.
I am American but I say fuck America's warcrimes and wars of aggression and fuck the Federal Reserve, the banksters control us, real power is never elected and never leaves office, the central banks love these endless wars, more money to loan, more interest, the Federal Reserve is a private Zionist bank, wars in the middle East to destroy Israel's enemies, where does it all end?

Stop whining and take a good look at your own country. It was your scumbag-murdering government who started the whole damn war. You all bought this upon yourselves
No, YOU take a good look at your own warmongering country, you dirty American childkiller. Scumbag-government, yes indeed i would call a satanist sicko like your Nazi-Bush president a scumbag. Or how would you call a satanist cult worshipper who is member of Skull and Bones and starts wars in Iraq, torturing and killling millions of people? oops, i forgot, you kill children because you are fighting for peace, right? LOL we all see that in Iraq every day, you dirty American child-killer pig.
American warcriminals attacked and murdered 600 000 innocent German children and women in WW II . The Bush-family created and financed the NSDAP.
You Americans were not satisfied with the crimes of your Nazi-financier Prescott Bush, you even elected his grandson your warmongering president.
So where is your great history lesson, you dirty racist yankee pig? Oh, yeah, right - the "bad" Germans attacking New York, so you "had to fight back", right? LOL
@Elberiver11 The German agenda: had Germany beaten England, the German plan was to use Englishmen as slaves in their factories and to use our women as whores. They tried to bomb us into submission with air raids - on undefended British cities early in the war (1940/41) - and they tried to starve us by torpedoing our supplies from the Americas. Hitler got fed up because my Grandparents' generation would not surrender so Hitler attacked Russia in June 1941 to carry out his 'masterplan' there.
@Elberiver11 My Grandfather was in the RAF and served under great men such as Sir 'Bomber' Harris. His cousin served in the American USAAF. They did a good job and you should be grateful because had the war gone on any longer Germany could have been atom bombed. Think about it.
But that's not true, International Jewry declared war on German in 1933..'Germany's unforgivable crime before the Second World War, was her attempt to extricate her economic power from the world's trading system and to create her own exchange mechanism which would deny world finance its opportunity to profit.' Winston Churchill
Jewry or not Hiter's actions would have caused a World War no matter what. I agree that the Versaille treaty lead to Germany's desire for vengeance and to gain back her lost prestige. Besides, Chruchill was Lord of the Admiralty and not prime minister in 1933. He came to power with the outbreak of war in 1940, however he did want war with Germany before 1940.
Its very sad to see such destruction and the loss of so many historic bulidings.I was in Cologne on vacation last year.The cathedral is magnificent! I'm glad it survived the war.....
Cologne was one of the eldest and most beautiful but unfortunately also the most destroyed german town. The population sank from 800.000 to 104.000. Almost 98 % of the buildings were damaged or blown away.
Although my family lost many members due to bombing, we never hated the Allies. We thanked God, when the Americans arrived and the war was at an end.
Please notice: At Cologne Hitler received less voices than in any other town. And there was more underground resistance than anywhere else.
I live in england in in a salt mine about 40minutes from where i live r top scret files on ww2 and everthing that went on but some r known! also in thattoeath about 10mins away from my house there is a huge crator in the ground of a bomb!
We shall be grateful that Europe is at peace, and every nation should reprocess the area in an objective manner. Today's Europe can be grateful that the Allied defeated Hitler's armys on the Continent. However, war crimes were and will be committed by all opponents at times of war, surley the Germans had a very exceptional portion of crimes against humanity. But people of all nations should keep in mind, painting history black and white is soil on wich conflicts grow.
i.e. All the terrible things the Russians did on the Eastern front, to the German soldiers, eastern europeans, and German citizens. Hell... Stalin himself said show no mercy, and because of that man over 40 million people died on the eastern front.. that's BEYOND genocide.
Ich bin Amerikaner, und studiere Deutsch. Alles dass ich sagen kann ist einfach, schade. Ich bin letztes Jahr bei dem Dom, und ich freue mich eines Tages zurueck zu gehen. Die Deutsche Leute koennen Stolz sein, dass sie dieser schoener Sdadt wieder gebaut haben. Viele Gruesse an alle Deutsche Leute aus Chicago. :-)
They bombed it because Germany had started a war, Germany did the same to London as the Allies did to Cologne. But you're right, we shouldn't have bombed Germany, we should have just let them build their empire and kill off every Jewish, Muslim or handicapped person in Europe. Not like they were doing anything bad until the evil Brits and Americans came and bombed them was it?
hahahahaha ur such a sucker germany had reched london with 250 bomber for 1 time then just with 50, the allies sent 1000 bombers every weekend since may 1942 EVRY WEEKEND, i know germans were assholes but u cannto coplain the german airforce attacks with the allies you stupid idiot i live in köln(cologne) and we are still repairing the cathedral and there are so many ugly streets and every week the find old bombs if they try to bulid something in the city
First up, that 1000 bombers every weekend for 3 years claim is aload of shit and your figures of the blitz are well under aswell. We were at war, Cologne was a heavy industrial city and so it was bombed to try and weaken the position of the German military. You can't accept the fact your country started a war (I'm not blaming German people for that, it was beyond their control) and then complain that you got bombed. The Luftwaffe dished it out, the RAF and USAAF returned it with interest.
speaking percental, Cologne was the german city with most of civilian buildings destroyed. It was not much about factories from some point on. It was about breaking the civilian people's moral. Regarding the fact that the city was mainly dwelled by woman, children and seniors at that time, the RAF mission is at least questionable under the aspect of law of war. This is not a comment to sweep away with German war crimes, i want to focus on the video, thank you.
look at britain, youll be a minority in your own country, you "won" a battle, but you lost the war. only bad thing about it germany did too.
Brits didnt know about any holocaust back then, they also hindered germany from deporting jews to palestine and declined peace offers. The only reason britain bombed germany is because it didnt want another industrial nation next to it endangering the empire they later just threw away anyway.
research it the war could have endet before it started.
Um, I agree with some of that but you're looking at it as Britain being completely evil... no. Germany and Italy WERE the aggressors and would not stop even after British and French appeasement. Yeah the British did bad things but... who didn't?
Cologne was NOT almost totally destroyed 30 may 42. Although it was the biggest raid yet on any city, only 480 were killed and 3300 buildings destroyed, but Col had 772.000 inhab.
June/july 43 saw 4 big raids, the worst killed 4.377 and made 230.000 homeless when the city burned for 5 days. In 1944 it was terrorized beyond belief, especially in october. And the worst of all came 2/3 1945...
Cologne endured 262 raids of which at least 25 were huge. The inner city was spectacular. Was...
I was born in Cologne. When I first saw the pics of destroyed Cologne when I was a kid I just could not believe how they managed to built it up again. Cologne has a long history of invasions. The people here are famous for surviving invasions, but it almost broke their heart that their beloved city was almost completly destroyed (over 70%).
Tragic piece of film. The result of allowing the madman - Adolf Hitler - becoming chancellor of Germany. Who are the madmen of today? What destruction will they cause?
oh my g.. i know how cologne looks like today...and to see the destroyed town with the many soldiers make me feel sad...and yea grahamkeithtodd i know it were the germans who started bombing, but their were also a lot of inculpable people who lost their families and homes...
Bombing of the cities is a war crime, everywhere it is done. The war crimes were bombings of London and Warsaw and bombing of Hamburg, Dresden and Cologne. It is obvious. War or revange is no excuse. If allies considered themselves as standing on the good side, they should not use the means which was used by the nazi bombings earlier.

Harris did dirty work for Churchill and was expendable afterwards. He had to go to South After having been kicked out from the RAF.
The closest parallels of Harris are the SS Generals, the high-rank political officers of the Red Army and the Serb Generals during the Bosnian war.
He is not good PR for the Queen and England. Now wonder that he had to represent Churchill's sins.

@pedowife4kids This video consists of extracts from a tv programme, titled The 1000 Bomber Raid on Cologne. Perhaps The Aftermath of the 1000 B.......... would be more fitting. Even though I agree with you, I am not going to change the title, had only one other complaint about the title in two years.

@schritzy A more apt title would be "Cologne At the End of the War". The thousand bomber raid was three years earlier.

@schritzy Well, it's a very relevant point - even if only 2 individuals have raised it so far. Which is dismaying, isn't it? What have all the others been watching? This is indeed film material recorded by the Americans in early March 1945. Exactly this same film, correctly identified, can be seen elsewhere on Youtube with a German-language commentary. Thus it has nothing to do with the 1942 bombing raid. But ... in 2 years only two people notice the error. So that makes it all right then.

@jplully "Al those beautiful buildings ! It makes me sick !"
Cologne, with its 12 Romanesque Churches, from the 10th and 11th centuries - all flattened with no military purpose: St Apostles, St Gereon, St. Pantaleon, St. Martin, St, Severin, St. Georg, St. Cecilia, St. Maria Lux, St.Maria Capitol, St. Andreas, St. Kunibert.
In Hildesheim, the 8th-Century churches, St. Mikael and the Cathedral were burnt down in 1945 to train young RAF pilots. The small Mediaeval town had no defence.

I posted this earlier:
"Doesn't it? The destruction of Dresden's Mediaeval quarters was like the flattening of similar quarters in Delft or Strassburg, its Baroque was like in Vienna, the cupola of the Frauekirche was like that of Sain Paul's in London or like that of Pantheon, Paris. Zwinger was one of the most significant Late Baroque palaces in Europe. The castle was of Renessance style, close to the Tudor style in England."
Well Cologne was a loss, equally sad.

That shows us that the Americans and Brits did war crimes. So the result for us Germans must be to leave the NATO and the EU. Both organisations are criminal organisations. Both organisations are for the interest of Americans and brits. We must take our german soldiers home from Afghanistan and other places. German soldiers haven´t nothing to search in other countries. We are doing only the work for the american imperialists. No german blood for foreign interests.

@Elberiver11 The German agenda: had Germany beaten England, the German plan was to use Englishmen as slaves in their factories and to use our women as whores. They tried to bomb us into submission with air raids - on undefended British cities early in the war (1940/41) - and they tried to starve us by torpedoing our supplies from the Americas. Hitler got fed up because my Grandparents' generation would not surrender so Hitler attacked Russia in June 1941 to carry out his 'masterplan' there.

But that's not true, International Jewry declared war on German in 1933..'Germany's unforgivable crime before the Second World War, was her attempt to extricate her economic power from the world's trading system and to create her own exchange mechanism which would deny world finance its opportunity to profit.' Winston Churchill

Jewry or not Hiter's actions would have caused a World War no matter what. I agree that the Versaille treaty lead to Germany's desire for vengeance and to gain back her lost prestige. Besides, Chruchill was Lord of the Admiralty and not prime minister in 1933. He came to power with the outbreak of war in 1940, however he did want war with Germany before 1940.

Cologne was one of the eldest and most beautiful but unfortunately also the most destroyed german town. The population sank from 800.000 to 104.000. Almost 98 % of the buildings were damaged or blown away.
Although my family lost many members due to bombing, we never hated the Allies. We thanked God, when the Americans arrived and the war was at an end.
Please notice: At Cologne Hitler received less voices than in any other town. And there was more underground resistance than anywhere else.

First up, that 1000 bombers every weekend for 3 years claim is aload of shit and your figures of the blitz are well under aswell. We were at war, Cologne was a heavy industrial city and so it was bombed to try and weaken the position of the German military. You can't accept the fact your country started a war (I'm not blaming German people for that, it was beyond their control) and then complain that you got bombed. The Luftwaffe dished it out, the RAF and USAAF returned it with interest.
rvfharrier 2 years ago
speaking percental, Cologne was the german city with most of civilian buildings destroyed. It was not much about factories from some point on. It was about breaking the civilian people's moral. Regarding the fact that the city was mainly dwelled by woman, children and seniors at that time, the RAF mission is at least questionable under the aspect of law of war. This is not a comment to sweep away with German war crimes, i want to focus on the video, thank you.

Brits didnt know about any holocaust back then, they also hindered germany from deporting jews to palestine and declined peace offers. The only reason britain bombed germany is because it didnt want another industrial nation next to it endangering the empire they later just threw away anyway.
