Paul,

Thanks for this ! It confirms indeed what I knew only partially on the matter.

I'm looking forward at reading your book !

It is a bit the same story with the German bombings on British soil in WW I by the Englandgeschwader and co. The result was not very spectacular from a military viewpoint, but the leaders of this unit and men did get high (even the Pour le Mérite) decorations for their work which was also part of the propagandamachine on the other side.
If one sees the losses of these units in 1918 one wonders if it was worth the effort at all...


Best from Johan
