[edit] Nuremberg trials

An article called "Bomber Boys: Good men doing an ugly job" by Patrick Bishop, in BBC History magazine Vol 8 no 3, March 2007 page 17 first paragraph, states that:

Hugo Sperrle, commander of the German Air Fleet Three, was not charged at the Nuremberg trials with war crimes relating to the Blitz, for fear of drawing attention to the damage done to German cities.

Patrick Bishop who writes in the Daily Telegraph has written a book called "Bomber Boys: Fighting back 1940-45" that is scheduled to be published in April 2007.

If someone has time I would really like to know more about this decision, as it could show that no one was tried for aerial bombardment for Allied political expediency and not legal considerations that there was no chance of a conviction on such charges --Philip Baird Shearer 12:43, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
