"We were involved in total war and the end result justified the means."

And what geriaviator said re the Germans.

I've been out of the UK quite a while so don't see everything that
is on TV but see what programs come on pay TV here - often
the same.

Really, even when I was in the UK not much is shown about the effect of the Bombing on Britain, V1's, V2's etc.

It's only because my Grand mother talked to me about it - often
because I asked - and the stories of my mother that I know
about it at all, what it was like to live in a city being bombed
every day, running for the air raid shelter, being machine gunned
shot up by a plane on the way home with my aunt.

I asked my GF's kids the other day, WWII doesn't even rate !

So it's not surprising if all they show is the one sided view.

We have nothing to apologise for.
