From Welby's own Blog:

'What a sadness then that late in the evening someone showed me a headline in the Daily Mail saying that I had apologised for the RAF bombing the Nazis. No honest reading of what I said in the church and on the BBC afterwards could come anywhere near such an idea. Contrary to the Mail's report, on the BBC I spoke clearly of the bombing of British cities, mentioning especially Coventry and London. I also spoke of the terrible losses of the heroic crews of Bomber Command.'

Looks like the Daily Fail (the UK paper which supported Fascism and was owned by an admirer of Mussolini and Hitler) is having another go at getting people wound up by trying to twist somebody's words.
