There "is" s guy somewhere else, on another forum that 'shall not be named' & in MY view, he's spouting drivel
Says and claims (with some degree of 'self-authority'), that the Luftwaffe night-defences WERE (Quote), "Finished by '44/'45"
"Finished, as in NON-EXISTANT" - "NON-EXISTANT" being the actual words that he used !
Hmmm, try telling that to ALL the Bomber crews lost & their bereaved ones.
I'm NOT here to debate all the 'b*ll*ks, why's & wherefore's & yes, I "know" Germany WAS being bought to it's knees.
I just found HIS comment disrespectful, misleading & frankly, bloody stupid
Just any single book of 'W.R.Chorley' (regarding '44/'45 - "Bomber Command Losses"), would make a mockery of his B.S "claim".
In "brief" reply, I told him he was "being an idiot" & just quoted the single-night/date, of "March 30th/31st 1944" as an example.
I've got W.R.Chorley's book regarding 1945 (Vol.6), but just cannot "be arsed" to look through, to "quote numbers" & statistics.
Can anyone point to a "large loss" of RAF Bomber a/c, in ONE SINGLE NIGHT in 1945, as in 1945 alone.
I believe the "idiot" left his B.S (erronous) statement as "ambiguous", perhaps to save face.
By other comments he's made, I believe him to be "fairly clueless" & talking "B*ll*cks"
That it's supposed to be on an 'information sharing website' rankles me, rather - Hearing him spout drivel !
"If" 1945 (German defence), was "non-existent", then W.R.Chorley's 1945 "Vol.6" would simply NOT exist
Also, it's clear that the guy has NEVER even heard of 'Operation Gisela'
Like everyone in the RAF (Halifaxes/Lancasters), WERE just "swanning around" without being shot at....... AT ALL !
Does anyone "know" the individual nights which involved the biggest losses of RAF Bombers in one single night, in 1945 ?
(I know it won't come anywhere NEAR the Nuremburg raid "night" figure, but it won't be dismissive, either - No loss ever is, esp' to family)
