And why would they? there was no need to create any unit solely for that purpouse when the entire German military was at the disposal of the ruling Nazis.

Just wondering but by your statement are you claiming Bomber command was created 'solely' for murdering civillians?

The campaign perhaps, but you empasised a point of the creation of a 'unit created solely' for the purpouse of killing civillians, so are you saying Bomber command was such a unit?

the way I see it Bomber command was more than just the area bombing campaign and by that token very much deserve a memorial.
