  1. In 1914 to 1918 hundreds of thousands of women lost their husbands to German weapons, from 1939 they were now going to lose many of their sons to German weapons. Forgive me for believing that zero fucks were given about German civilians back then, in fact if you had held a poll asking "Should the German people be exterminated?" it would probably have been a landslide. Germany is our friend today, a good friend, but they wrecked two generations, my grandfather despised anything German right up until his death in 2002 because that country cost him a father and a brother and imprisoned him for 3 years. It's cute that people think WW2 was this big fuzzy party where the evil allies killed civilians for no reason, it wasn't, it was a horrendous war where any living Brit of the time would have happily killed any German, civilian or child or otherwise as payback for two devastating needless wars. They were not very popular with Brits in the 1940's.
