  1. Fairy stories? Germany not only began the war but also the bombing war with Warsaw and Rotterdam - Harris' statement is correct, not a falsehood. The Germans 'sewed the wind', even if RAF bombers did hit them first. What is the point you are trying to make here, that the Germans were the plucky ones facing a mighty foe? The fact that Britain had an Empire made it weaker not stronger, as those far flung places had to be defended and were a drain on resources. I've never heard of this 'David against the mighty Goliath' narrative you purvey - it was simply the fact that we had not listened to Churchill and were playing catch up in an arms race with Germany, especially as so much materiel had been lost in France. Britain did fight alone, surrounded by a ring of U-Boats and commerce surface raiders, such as Bismarck, Tirpitz, Graf Spee and Scharnhorst anxious to join in - Italy also had a navy, as did the Vichy regime, which could have been used against us. The Battle of the Atlantic is something you ought to look into as your grasp of military and strategic affairs appears to be weak. The Polish and Czech pilots who fought in the Battle of Britain didn't bring their own Spitfires and ground crew with them you know, and were grateful that someone was there to enable them to take the fight to the Nazis - they would have had no misgivings about sending RAF bombers over Germany to give them a taste of their own medicine. I would much rather our people had positive 'myths' in their heads than have no conception of what their forebears achieved in what is still living memory.
