Bomber Harris should be revered and a special holiday commemorating the Bank established in his memory?
Bomber Harris was a strategic genius I had a mind brushes. He only made two mistakes: Carpet bombing – night and day of German cities should have started much earlier. Bombing strategic targets in Germany must have 100% capacity at an earlier stage. To be held as a genius by historians of the future. He will be honored and celebrated as a national hero in the same way as Lord Nelson. This will be his destination of a wonderful man who did a brilliant job in Germany?
Revenge! Revenge! Just wanted to join in. In answer to your question, I would say, "No, he was crazy and many people in the forces, at a time, so I thought." Even if Harris was not personally unpopular, big plans will not achieve anything. At that time (late) in the war, Germany's fate was decided. He had why men or equipment to stop the Red Army. Cut off the retreat to the west of the German forces could have shortened the war by a few days or even weeks here and there, but may actually have justified the cruel mass murder of thousands of civilian refugees? It was assumed that the good guys and shameful actions took Harris brightness to Britain "best." dispersal program of Albert Speer for the production of weapons had made large German cities less important objectives of the RAF and (suicide bombers of the day almost) USAAF. More effective might have been the bombing of Switzerland, which prolonged the (often overlooked) the war in Italy about eighteen months, allowing the Germans to spend whatever they wanted, through Swiss territory. Also wash a lot of money supplied Nazi German forces scientific instruments, watches, drugs, Toblerone etc. I can not help thinking that the Germans had the last laugh as he rebuilt most of its cities in a fairly pleasant, while many of us still look as if, uh, that have been bombed by someone. Perhaps the elements of the Luftwaffe secretly infiltrated the British governments after the war.
