This year saw various “celebrations” of the 70th anniversary of the “Dam Busters” raid.
I have a problem with this, since it was in effect an act of terrorism, which killed about 1600 civliians and had minimal effect on German industry.
It’s rather like the German government celebrating the anniversary of the bombing of Rotterdam.
Still, more people are offended by the fact that the commander called his dog “nigger” than the destruction of human life. Don’t worry, though, as in the new film version the dog is renamed “digger”. So that’s all right, then.
