Summary/Abstract: A remarkable analysis of the various motives that determined the devastating bombardments of the German towns by the Allied powers, of the hidden motives of the long silence in German literature regarding the fate of the civil population during the war years, and of the tendency of certain right-wing circles to lay a heavy guilt-trip on the Allied Powers.
