Millions of European civilians died in WWII. Why is killing civilians with aerial bombs so morally different than shooting them? Shooting civilians is morally different in several ways from bombing areas where civilians are present. Principally, dropping the bomb has many effects, e.g. on buildings...

For the higher commander, the written order provides the foundation for the leadership. It is communicated to the lower units printed, in carbon copy, typewritten or written by hand, or by technical communication means. Frequently it is dictated over the telephone. In every instance the most sure a...

There is a description of the Sorbs in Victor Klemperer's famous diary (volume 2). He and his wife fled into the countryside to stay with them in the aftermath of the bombing of Dresden in February 1945.

The handwritten note looks more like "Jewish question -- exterminated as partisans" (i.e, "ausgerotten" - past tense) to me. The "g" in Judenfrage" looks like the fourth letter of "ausgerotten" (though without the initial top loop). On second thoughts, &q...

His early work on fascism ( Three Faces of F...
