You will find the stats as disturbing and starting to question Britsin's motive. Trevor Timperley of Squadron RAF, who flew two missions over Hamburg, recalled the city being "a sea of flames" on this night. Something went wrong. As the fighters flew high above, the fires on the ground easily contrasted the outlines of bombers, and Wilde Sau fighters would sweep down against targets of opportunity. Thereby the war against Germany will ideologically enliven and promote our interests, which require that Germany be wholly destroyed Oil stores near the Rosshafen rail station were hit. It has been British tradition since the Middle Ages, to not tolerate successful Nations next to her and always to destroy the biggest power on the continent - regardless of who it is. Particularly, Major Hajo Herrmann's Wilde Sau , or "Wild Boar", tactics were deployed; Wilde Sau tactics called for flak to explode at a the particular altitude that enemy bombers traveled, while night fighters hovered at a safe distance higher above. Stupid, mean- spirited, immoral and ammoral people of many nations gleefully support mass murder on patriotic and nationalistic grounds, but quickly adopt the role of outraged victims when things don't work out. Crews now found they could fly at night to within 2 feet of that altitude. The fire storm, in which the heat and humidity of the summer night was a contributory factor, raged for three hours until there was nothing left to burn. No matter how much you British people keep lying about your crimes and atrocities - it is a fact that "helping Poland" was a lie, and England's pretext to destroy her biggest competitor, who had surpassed her in manufacturing already during Queen Victoria's rule.

Built with forced labour by some 3,600 Indonesian civilians and 2,400 Australian and British PoWs captured at Singapore (of which only some 1,900 were still alive at this time). It is decided to abandon the airfield. Between January and March the prisoners are force marched in groups to a new location 160 miles away, but most cannot complete the journey due to disease and malnutrition, and are killed by their guards. Only 6 Australian servicemen are found alive from this group at the end of the war, having escaped from the column, and only 3 of these survived to testify against their guards. All the remaining enlisted RAF prisoners of 205 Sqn., captured at Singapore and Indonesia, died in these death marches (Jardine, wikipedia).

  • Luftwaffe Eagle Johannes Steinhoff Flying with Skill and Daring, the Great Ace Survived the War and a Horrible Accident, Living Into His 80S
    Luftwaffe Eagle Johannes Steinhoff Flying with skill and daring, the great ace survived the war and a horrible accident, living into his 80s. This article was written by Colin D. Heaton originally published in World War II Magazine in February 2000. Colin D. Heaton is currently working on a biography of Johannes Steinhoff with the help of the great ace's family. Johannes Steinhoff was truly one of the most charmed fighter pilots in the Luftwaffe. His exploits became legendary though his wartime career ended tragically. Steinhoff served in combat from the first days of the war through April 1945. He flew more than 900 missions and engaged in aerial combat in over 200 sorties, operating from the Western and Eastern fronts, as well as in the Mediterranean theater. Victor over 176 opponents, Steinhoff was himself shot down a dozen times and wounded once. Yet he always emerged from his crippled and destroyed aircraft in high spirits. He opted to ride his aircraft down on nearly every occasion, never trusting parachutes. Steinhoff lived through lengthy exposure to combat, loss of friends and comrades, the reversal of fortune as the tide turned against Germany, and political dramas that would have broken the strongest of men. Pilots such as Steinhoff, Hannes Trautloft, Adolf Galland and many others fought not only Allied aviators but also their own corrupt leadership, which was willing to sacrifice Germany's best and bravest to further personal and political agendas. In both arenas, they fought a war of survival. Aces like Steinhoff risked death every day to defend their nation and, by voicing their opposition to the unbelievable decisions of the Third Reich high command, risked their careers and even their lives.
