Keesje - was there a choice? was there any other way to stop Hitler and win the war?
God knows the British, the French and the Russians all bent over backwards NOT to fight Germany but they all were attacked - not the other way round. Once a war kicks of you can choose to win it or lose it and I think there isn't a rational single person who wouldn't want Hitler to be defeated - and the sooner the better. While the British were bombing cities he was cheerfully still shipping Jews off to their deaths and kept on doing it right up to the end.
I'm no fan of Harris as a commander but what choice did they have? Call a Peace Conference??
