No i actually meant Coventry, Liverpool, Sheffield, Manchester, London etc, for disruptive attacks on the population and air defences of major British cities, including London, by day and night, that was a directive by Hitler on Sept 5th 1940.

Good, but the problem is that you (and anyone else brought up in the English-speaking world) have been almost exclusively exposed to the allied version of WWII. One has to make an effort to get a balanced picture. It can aslo be personally quite shocking to have to revise your views of the past and I say that as someone from a neutral state who was nevertheless brought up on the allied = good version of events.
If i forget im British while researching it then it will be easier, but like Zyklop with Germany its very hard to not defend your home .
