• The Bombing of Germany | DVD | (15/10/2012) from £10.98   |  Saving you £-0.99 (-9.90%)   |  RRP £9.99

  This fascinating film from PBS tells the true story of The Bombing of Germany by the U.S. Air Force. The raids led to the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians and this programme explores at length the moral debate that surrounded the decision to bomb Germany and whether the offensive was the right thing to do. On September 1, 1939 - the first day of World War II - President Franklin D. Roosevelt appealed to the warring nations to under no circumstances undertake the bombardment from the air of civilian populations. Just six years later, British and American Allied forces had carried out a bombing campaign of unprecedented might over Germany's cities, claiming the lives of nearly half a million civilians. The Bombing of Germany examines the defining moments of the offensive that led the U.S. across a moral divide. Weaving together interviews with WWII pilots and historians, and stunning archival footage of the bombing and its aftermath, this film provides a haunting reminder of the dilemma imposed by war's civilian casualties.
