It was something that I've, (reservedly) thought to be true without bothering to do any research. It was, of course inferred in the film 'The Battle of Britain'. My parents were both in the RAF during the war (father for 35 years) followed by my late brother. I think even they just accepted the general account. Makes you wonder if we can believe anything anymore without spending all day checking it. Fortunately, my retentive ability is going so I don't remember half of what I told anyway (so my wife tells me).

@1246-g2v The issue is the general belief that the bombing of German cities was in retaliation to (accidental) bombing of London. The facts presented here suggests that Britain had already embarked on bombing missions over German cities. It seems the collective memory of that seems to be absent.
