WHY has Malcolm Pittock got such a skewed attitude to damage caused by the Second World War?
Germany sent the Blitzkrieg to London. Portsmouth, Liverpool, Manchester, Coventry and Southampton were heavily bombed. Why pick out Dresden as a special case.
Millions of Jewish people were murdered just because they were Jewish. German forces invaded Poland, Holland, France and Greece. If it hadn't been for the English Chanel,we would have been invaded too.
There was a report recently that over two million Greek people died when Greece was invaded. I haven't heard Mr Pittock complaining about these deaths.
It is unfortunate that a country's history is defined by invasions, wars, natural disasters etc but it is a fact. Where would we be without Angles, Saxons, Vikings, Normans, Wars of the Roses etc?
