During the war, doubts were expressed, and have been echoed since it ended, about the effectiveness, the morality and the cost in men, money and materials, of the offensive mounted against German cities by RAF Bomber Command. What part did the bomber play in winning the war? Could the same results, or better ones, have been achieved in other ways? Was the mass bombing of the German population legitimate, or necessary in the circumstances of the time? This retrospective assessment is compiled from the specially recorded reminiscences of Marshal of the Royal Air Force Sir Arthur Harris ; Albert Speer. Minister of Armament and War Production in the wartime German government: and former members of Bomber Command air crews who flew missions over Germany. Narrated by David Mahlowe Reader RUSSELL DIXON
