And isnt it weird how the Russians and German's hubris has always led them to undersetimate the scrappy but ultimately superior american cunning?
Theres 101 stories of the brave Lt with no air support or artillery supporting holding off a whole battalion with onlu 100 men.
I wonder why nobody in history has ever pulled off a glorious combat from the bad side.
People know about the "Blitz" bombings. Most aren't aware Britain was bombing Berlin a month before the Blitz.
It's that tiny bit of context that the west has left out that muddies the water.
In part because they, British leadership, wanted the Blitz for propaganda reasons.
The other part was they wanted the German citizens homeless and starving.
Exactly, they wanted the bombings and then cried out while they were already striking.
And a significant % of the casualties were British AA shells coming back down.
That was solved in WW1, very quickly.
It may have happened due to the insane number of shells fired? Some would malfunction, but not a significant %.
And that the British army shelled London during the Blitz to both inflict additional damage and put on a show of "repelling" aircraft.
The British heavy bombers were bombing French cities filled with French civilians too. Deliberately. The German air defenses were less likely to shoot them down is the main reason.
