Their sacrifice was never acknowledged whilst we still venerate the 'Few'!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-55188412927054565882008-03-14T15:59:00.000+00:002008-03-14T15:59:00.000+00:00If you conclude that under the Nazi weapons develo...If you conclude that under the Nazi weapons development system Bartells would have known about tracking IFF. <BR/><BR/>And our side continued to let "Idiot" pilots betray bomber streams ....<BR/><BR/>There better have been a good payoff for all the preventable slaughter that occurred to Bomber Command ?Nemesishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13179242551066911527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-15303045964049807602008-03-14T15:57:00.000+00:002008-03-14T15:57:00.000+00:00BertieRight up your local aviation street.Start yo...Bertie<BR/><BR/>Right up your local aviation street.<BR/><BR/>Start your inquiries re WW2 with the crashed Messerschmidt of Luftwaffe Werner Bartells at Kingsgate.<BR/><BR/>Bear in mind the lessons of the Oslo person as a reasonable gauge of what Bartells would have known.Nemesishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13179242551066911527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-38954075316576462552008-03-14T15:51:00.000+00:002008-03-14T15:51:00.000+00:00Well done BertieOpen the debate.Do include the eff...Well done Bertie<BR/><BR/>Open the debate.<BR/><BR/>Do include the efforts of Professor R v Jones who, rightly, identified that IFF radar signals transmitted against standing orders over enemy territory were alerting Luftwaffe and doubling mission losses.<BR/><BR/>Do please name the Bomber Pilot who led the delegation telling Jones (wrongly) that he was wrong.<BR/><BR/>Leonard Cheshire (is it churlish to mention his part education in german in the 30s as guest of a Nazi admiral ?)<BR/><BR/>Then mention the difficult to get hold of alleged memo of 5.1.44 by Bomber Harris announcing those pilots who used IFF illicitly had betrayed every bpomber stream they flew with. Naming the pilots concerned as "Idiots".<BR/><BR/>And then mention the performance. Less than 5% of bombs landed within five miles of the target.<BR/><BR/>Churchill set up another means to "Set European industry ablaze". He formed the SOE.<BR/><BR/>mention the redoubtable late Vera Atkins who spent her life never betraying the memory of the SOE girlks she sent to their deaths in occupied France. Who in MI6 had betrayed them ? Some flung alive into furnaces by Nazis somehow later exempted the Nuremberg trial and set secretly to work for UK (Horst Kopkow for example)<BR/><BR/>Then, while we are at it, were Kennedy (US ambassador) and those in the Wallis Simpson group giving secrets awau to the Nazis ?<BR/><BR/>And do not forget to mention the betrayal of the Arnhem mission. The creation of the Bilderberg Group, the Vatican ratlines for escaping Nazis.<BR/><BR/>The best way to honour the dead is the TRUTH.Nemesishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13179242551066911527noreply@blogger.com
