I think both shows are great , always watch NOVA and Frontline is pretty good as well maybe the best news show out there .Most of the stuff on Frontline is backed with interviews and transcripts etc it may not be what you want to hear but at least its an opposing view some thing to give you food for thought .More crap from PBS. Used to watch Frontline and Nova. Back in the early 90s, they were good shows. Now, Nova is occasionally good (has held up better than most shows) but Frontline is pure crap.
'Bout the only thing worth watching now is the 7pm market brief with Paul Kangas.
Although my daughter likes the first minute of Sesame Street.
Almost all the bombing done by Bomber Command was area bombing because the couldn't get accurate enough to hit specific targetsDoes anyone know the name of that German city that was bombed purely because of a civilian population? I can't seem to remember....Coventry? or.....
Out tax $$ hard at work.
Interesting fact about Hamburg was the firestorm only resulted in 45 days of lost productionDresden and the fire storm might come to mind...

"The aim of strategic bombing was . . . in large measure to kill German civilians by destroying the most densely populated parts of the country. And it only really worked when the level of destruction reached apocalyptic levels. It behooves us all to stare this reality in the face, by trying to understand what it was like to be on the receiving end of firestorms like the ones that engulfed Hamburg or Dresden."
I've been around too long in this world to listen to someones opinion and I'll make my own opinion after viewing it . Which in IMHO is the only way . I've just finished reading to the Right of the Line and this show might not be all that farfetched at least as far as the airwar.Thats my point Pb, it was targeted because of some war production unlike the Baedekker raids which were based solely on a travel guide. If what has been posted about this show is correct, that right there shows its a load of cr*p.
Thats what I was trying to show was ridiculus.
Pinko idiots trying to re-write history.....
