Kas veidigi teemavaldamist ja allikakriitilisust on palju palutud?
Tsitaat:...Kusjuures see sõda tsiviilelanikkonna vastu oli ammu enne Teist maailmasõda välja töötatud plaani järkjärguline elluviimine.
Kui me räägime Itaalia kindrali Giulio Douheti (elas 1869-1930) doktriinist, siis see selle strateegilistele pommitamistele aluse pannud suundumus leidis väljatöötamist juba Esimese maailmasõja algul ning oli ajendatud 1911. aastal Itaalia–Türgi sõjas kogetust. Kusjuures ei saa seda mingil juhul võtta mingi müstilise plaani järk-järgulise elluviimisena, iga asi areneb vastavalt üldisele arengule. Antud juhul siis vastavalt tehnika üldisele arengule.
Tsitaat:Näiteks Hamburgi pommitamise direktiiv oli: “Te peate vana hansalinna Hamburgi põhjalikult hävitama.”
Tõsiselt? Nii kirjutatigi?? Lahingutegevuse eesmärkide püstitamiseks ja sihtmärkide pommitamise direktiivi sellised ilukirjanduslikud finessid??? Lancasteride ja Wellingtonide meeskonnad oleksid sellist "direktiivi" lugedes ilmselt homeerilisest naerust maas püherdanud. Nagu öeldud, on Erelt ja Laigna ennegi jama kokku keeranud, aga et selline jamps niivõrd kriitikavabalt vastu võetakse...??? Loeme nüüd vahelduseks, kuidas ja millises keeles tegelikult direktiivid kirjutati. Ja peale seda hindab igaüks ise seda "vana hansalinna Hamburgi" juttu.
Tsitaat:The Bomber Offensive from the United Kingdom
Directive to the appropriate British and U.S. Air Force Commanders to govern the operation of the British and U.S. Bomber Commands in the United Kingdom (Approved by the Combined Chiefs of Staff at their 65th meeting on January 21, 1943)
1. Your Primary object will be the progressive destruction and dislocation of the German military, industrial, and economic system, and the undermining of the morale of the German people to a point where their capacity for armed resistance is fatally weakened.
2. Within that General concept, your primary objectives, subject to the exigencies of weather and tactical feasibility, will for the present be in the following order of priority:
(a) German submarine construction yards.
(b) The German aircraft industry.
© Transportation.
(d) Oil plants.
(e) Other targets in enemy war industry.
The above order of priority may be varied from time to time according to developments in the strategical situation. Moreover, other objectives of great importance either from the political or military point of view must be attacked. Examples of these are:
(1) Submarine operating bases on the Biscay coast. If these can be put out of action, a great step forward will have been taken in the U-boat war which the C.C.S have agreed to be a first charge on our resources. Day and night attacks on these bases have been inaugurated and should be continued so that an assessment of their effects can be made as soon as possible. If it is found that successful results can be achieved, these attacks should continue whenever conditions are favorable for as long and as often as is necessary. These objectives have not been included in the order of priority, which covers the long term operations, particularly as the bases are not situated in Germany.
(2) Berlin, which should be attacked when the conditions are suitable for the attainment of the specially valuable results unfavorable to the morale of the enemy or favorable to that of the Russians.
3. You may also be required, at the appropriate time, to attack objectives in Northern Italy on connection with amphibious operations in the Mediterranean theater.
4. There may be certain other objectives of great but fleeting importance for the attack of which all necessary planes and preparations should be made. Of these, an example would be the important units of the German Fleet in harbor or at sea.
5. You should take every opportunity to attack Germany by day, to destroy objectives that are unsuitable for night attack, to sustain continuous pressure on German morale, to impose heavy losses on the German day fighter force, and to contain German fighter strength away from the Russian and Mediterranean theaters of war.
6. When the Allied armies reenter the Continent, you will afford them all possible support in the manner most effective.
7. In attacking objectives in occupied territories, you will conform to such instructions as may be issued from time to time for political reasons by His Majesty's Government through the British Chiefs of Staff.
—Combined Chiefs of Staff
Nagu näeme, on tegu äärmiselt selge, konkreetse ja üheselt mõistetava
DOKUMENDIGA. Muideks, direktiivis S.46368/111. D.C.A.S, milles spetsomm on tähendatud Ruhri ja Esseni piirkonda, öeldakse taas üheselt:
Tsitaat:"To focus attacks on the morale of the enemy civil population and in particular the industrial workers. In the case of Berlin harassing attacks to maintain fear of raids and to impose A. R. P. measures"
Tsitaat:Teisalt,
mind isiklikult su jutt ei kõneta, plätserda siia kokku sellist jaburrumalat demagoogiat, mida aga parajasti pähe tuleb...
Jõudu tööle.
Sama siin, inimene, kelle mõistmiskünnist ei ületa teadmine, et paanika ja demoraliseeritus on teemad eri ooperitest, jääb minu tähelepanu horisondist madalamale. "....ниже плинтуса", nagu tavatsevad venelased öelda.
Tsitaat:Pandi või? Kas siis ei mõjunudki või?
IRW...muidugi ei mõjunud, kui lugupeetav veel pole tähele pannud. Alles me tähistasime Suur Saksamaa võitu Teises maailmasõjas unustamatu Führeri juhtimisel...
Tsitaat:Veelgi enam koonduti Juhi ümber.
Kestvad kiiduavaldused, rahvas tõuseb saalis ja aplodeerib. Kõlavad hüüded "Õige!!" "Elagu NSDAP ja tema suur juht" etc, etc...
Abi
