To the Editor-of the "Norm-Cina Darcy. News"
SmI have just learnt, from one who was in Berlin a very few weeks since, that that city has been in fact Dut slightly. affected by RAF. attacks, We have stated that German psychology is all wrong in their efforts to "soften" Great Britain by their tactic of bombarding non-military objectives as exemplified at Rotterdam, Coventry and London in the last major attack.
La" not our own psychology at. fault? Surely the conscious oF subconscious reason. for the German belief in such procedure is that it would be calculated to break down the moral of their own people. If that be the case the deduction is obvious: completely blast, well and truly devastate, a square mile central Berlin, and, in turn, of the centres of ettler large cities, not in Imitation of Hitler's alleged revenge motive, but because of the breaking effect on the Nazis and their unhappy slave population is calculated to be much greater than equivalent attacks on Hamm, Hamburg or|ingenious way a man purloined' advocated is advised, nay, passionately urged, by German and Austrian refugees" here, including many. another old soldier. They consider it the one thing to-do and their opinion of German psychology should be well-informed.
A year ago I, a mere junior officer' of the last war, would not have presumed to make such a suggestion publicly, believing that any idea of mine, not already adopted, must Tong ago have -been considered and rejected by those in power, infinitely more able than I, But today, after the results of all the muddle _and procrastination that we have seen, why, one wonders!
Shall we be too late yet again?
