13. What nation is credited with being the first to practice mass civilian bombing?
The IHR says:
Great Britain -- on 11 May 1940.
Nizkor replies:
The town of
Guernica
in Spain was bombed by the German Luftwaffe in 1937 during the Spanish
Civil War. (The Luftwaffe honed its bombing skills during World War I
- see the Recommended Reading note, below.)
But what does this have to do with the Holocaust?
It is true that the Allies had massively bombarded civilian
population -- as had the Germans. Does the fact that atrocities were
committed against the Germans mean they did not commit any themselves?
Some weird logic.
The last few questions may only have hinted at it, but the IHR does
openly suggest elsewhere that the imprisonment of European Jews was
justified. See their Web page,
The Encampment of the Jews: Might It Have Been Justified?
Recommended reading, for those who do not truly appreciate the
duplicitous nature of Holocaust denial: The
Luftwaffe : Creating the Operational Air War 1918-1940, by
