Unique and worth while WW2 story


Most of us don't know much about Bomber Harris. Most of us don't know about the controversy behind his leadership or the fact he had the attention of PM Winston Churchill. Certainly after the war the British wanted to downplay this story ... and that is what makes this film so potent!

Anyone looking to understand WW2 will find this film most interesting. It has great historical context ... it is educational ... and it raises ethical questions about British conduct in the war. It also raises questions about how the Brits want to remember the war.

Well done BBC!!!
