Overview: The Allied air war against German and Japanese civilians was the greatest mass slaughter of non-combatants in military history.
It was premeditated, planned and executed with callous indifference to the suffering on the ground.
And, seven decades later, it remains one of the most bitterly controversial aspects of the Second World War.
The strategy grew out of new military thinking — that ‘strategic bombing’ of homes and civilians would crush the spirit of the enemy to resist, and so shorten the war on the ground.
This ‘experiment’, as Bomber Harris, of British Bomber Command, described it, continued for months – killing 100,000 people in single nights of slaughter in Dresden and Tokyo.
But what did ‘terror bombing’ actually achieve?
Did it break the Japanese and German regimes?
In this graphic account, Paul Ham examines the truth about the air war in 1944 and 1945.
