For Hamish who found the way to Victory. [indecipherable date]
[page break]
[underlined] BEFORE EMBARKING ON A LECTURE TOUR OF THE OZ/NZ [Australia/New Zealand] SOME YEARS AGO I WROTE TO BOMBER HARRIS ASKING HIM TO GIVE ME A COUPLE OF SENTENCES OF INTRODUCTION FOR MY SPEECHES – THE FOLLOWING WAS HIS REPLY. [/underlined]
Persuading Hamish Mahaddie to revert to his wartime Pathfinder role on my behalf during his present itinerary, I welcome this opportunity to send my greetings and very warmest regards to all Bomber Command Old Lags, Aborigines, Maoris, and Whatevers [sic] or Whatareyou’s [sic]. Not forgetting that 40% of Bomber Aircrew and 49% of Bomber Pilots came to our aid from the Dominions and Colonies mainly as volunteers. I would assure them all, if they still need any such assurance, that their wartime efforts were the major cause of the enemy’s defeat in the Air, on Land, and at Sea. If you want incontrovertible proof of that statement you can now read it repeated over and over again in the statements of Adolf Hitler, Geobbels [sic] and Albert Speer in the Goebbels Diaries and Albert Speer’s two books: not to mention Monty [Field Marshal Montgomery] taking the opportunity of vast public banquets in London and Cape Town publicly to assert that “the Bomber did more than anyone to win the war”. Rommel, Germany’s best General, informed his superiors, once our invasion had got well established ashore in France “Stop the bombers or we can’t win. All we can gain by going on is the loss of another city every night. If we have the Atom Bomb, drop it, or make [deleted] the [/deleted] peace”, but they couldn’t stop the bombing and they hadn’t got the Atom Bomb because Hitler turned down the idea of producing one [deleted] because he said [/deleted] [inserted] SAYING THAT [/inserted] it was all “Jew Science”, and you know what happened to Rommel for speaking the truth!
General Sepp Dietrich commanding the armoured spearhead of the Ardennes breakthrough, on which the success of that whole final enemy offensive had depended, held up at Bastogne, as [inserted] SO CALLED [/inserted] “history” relates, by an American General who, when called upon to surrender, replied with a mild four letter word which it seems so shocked those tough and so nearly victorious soldier [deleted] s [/deleted] [inserted] Y [/inserted], that they gave up, burst into tears, and went back home to complain to Mother about that “rude man” – or so [inserted] “ [/inserted] history [inserted] ” [/inserted] infers!
However, when Hitler’s urgent messenger Albert Speer reached Sepp Dietrich’s Headquarters and said “the Fuehrer’s orders are that you must not stop you must go on at all costs”, Sepp Dietrich replied, “Go on! How can we go on? We have no ammunition left and all our supply lines have been cut by air attack”.
In the atrocious weather during those critical few days and nights only the night Bombers of Bomber Command were in continuous action, or at times at all. Tedder [Arthur William Tedder,] refers to that work of the Bombers in his book as “beyond praise”. Eisenhower said, in writing “Godammit they have achieved the impossible” and Sepp Dietrich confirmed it to Albert Speer that night “as they listened to the continuous roar of heavy four-engined bombers overhead in the dark and mist” by saying “people don’t realise that not even the best troops can stand up to this heavy bombing! After an experience of it they lose all fighting spirit”. (The Medicos call that shell-shock [sic]). The General who surrendered Boulogne with 8,000 fit men also confirmed that [inserted] , [/inserted] by writing in his Diary which was captured with him, “Can anyone survive when a carpet of bombs has fallen? One is driven to despair when at the mercy of the R.A.F. without defence. All our fighting seems hopeless, all our causalities in vain”. Eisenhower also described Bomber Command as “one of the most effective parts of his whole organisation, always seeking new ways of using their types of aircraft to help the Armies forward”.
As for Goebbels, he and Albert Speer repeatedly assert in their writings that the strategic bombing was “the cause of all our set backs [sic]” and Speer further asserts in writing that all the Allied War Books he has read miss that obvious fact and conclusion. He refers to the Strategic Bombing as, for German [deleted] s [/deleted] [inserted] Y [/inserted], “The greatest lost Battle of all”.
[page break]
The bombing destroyed and/or contracepted hundreds more submarines and small war craft and more capital ships than the Navy. It also annihilated the enemy merchant fleet on which their heavy war industries depended for the import of essential Scandinavian Ores. In the Air, bombing prevented the Germans from ever building up a worthwhile bombing force and made them concentrate almost entirely on the production of fighters and the training of day and night fighter pilots in a despairing effort, which failed, to protect the Fatherland.
The Anti-Aircraft defence of Germany, which failed to deter you Old Lags, deprived the German armies on all fronts of [inserted] 20,000 [/inserted] guns (i.e. half their vitally needed Anti-tank – Anti/Aircraft guns) and the 900,000 fit men needed to man those guns in Germany, men who would otherwise have manned those essential Anti/tank weapons on every enemy front, a major cause of the German armies’ defeat on every front. Railway repairs to bomb damage kept another 80,000 fit skilled men fully employed in Germany and thousands more for repairs to bomb damage to essential war industries. All of those men, but for the bomber offensive, would have been additional highly skilled soldiers in the German armies in the field.
Speer also states that it was the very heavy R.A.F. Bombs that did the “irreparable damage” to industrial plants and he has also expressed his astonishment at the extraordinary and ever [deleted] y [/deleted] increasing accuracy of the R.A.F. bombers on such small targets [deleted] such [/deleted] as Benzole Plants, sometimes bombed blind through thousands of feet of cloud, during the final stages of the war.
[deleted] The [/deleted] [inserted] OUR [/inserted] official history describes the result of the Bombing of Berlin as “not a failure, but a defeat”. [insert] BUT before any Allied soldier got within 50 miles of Berlin the Central Government of Germany had been virtually reduced by that bombing to two Maniacs – Hitler and Goebbels – cowering deep underground beneath the widespread ruin of the Capital City, issuing voluminous orders to practically phantom Armies which either no longer existed or were in such position and conditions as to make obedience to such orders impossible.
Meanwile [sic] those two Maniacs were testing poison pills on a dog, to see if they would suit their purpose, which they shortly carried out, of murdering their own wives and children and committing suicide!
If London and the top Government of England had been reduced by German bombing to similar conditions and, say, Winston Churchill and Brendan Bracken to the same position, state and intentions (which is of course inconceivable), I wonder if any German Official History would describe that bombing as “not a failure, but a defeat!” I leave that to your Judgment; and to the verdict of real History.
Take my tip, and get those Goebbels and Speers books and, when your grandchildren ask you what you did in the Great War, tell them to read them. [insert] & they’ll get the true facts! [/insert]
My warmest regards to you all,
Arthur. T. Harris

Two events marked or marred September 1939 [sic] In order of importance was the start of the Second Great War, which was heralded by a false alarm air raid siren, the next event was my school days at the Woolwich Polytechnic were ended and [inserted] I [/inserted] was looking for a job. I found that a motor garage in Bexleyheath Broadway would take me on as a machine operator & setter, making components for war weapons. The owner was a Belgian Gent who during a lunchtime break declared that if the German army were marching down the Broadway he would be there with his hand extended in the NAZI salute, after the war, this Gent became Mayor of Bexleyheath, at this time he bought up all the machinery from the old defunct Tram yard which was near to where Marks & Sparks [Marks & Spencer] is today, he advertised it for sale the next day in the Evening News and it went straight away, making him an excellent profit, this machinery was needed for the war effort.
There being no real future in this job I applied for a job as an apprentice to the trade of Instrument maker at SIEMENS and was accepted. Starting on this job I was paired off with a skilled tradesman to learn the trade, while helping out on the guillotine, I was told not to touch the treale [sic], in the course of events I stood on the treade [sic], the machine went through its cycle and I had cut my trainers two-foot rule into two pieces, not a very auspicious start. I wasn’t too happy in this job, so I applied for an apprenticeship as a tool-maker [sic] at the Woolwich Arsenal, the great big munitions factory beside the Thames in Woolwich. Having been accepted I was told to report to the NEW FUZE [sic] factory, a little way inside the fourth GATE by the Plumstead Bridge, where I could work

Making FUZES [sic] of all shapes & sizes, until they could make provision for me at one of the various toolrooms in the site, these jobs were very repetitive and boring but I was assured that it would only be for several weeks, the man was a prophet as I will show
7th SEPTEMBER (SATURDAY) 1940 4.58 P.M
Why so precise, [sic] because it is etched in stark reallity [sic] in my head. Saturday was change over [sic] shift day, we had had a week of days and would come to work on Sunday evening, to start the night shift. We would line up outside of the factory at the clocking off clock, we were allowed to be there two minutes before time, usually when this two minutes arrived someone would produce a key, open the front of the clock and advance it by two minutes and get away two minutes early. The air raid siren had sounded but we ignored it, since we had had so many false alarms, however, two minutes before five o’clock we heard a loud bang, then another bang about a second or two later, someone more knowledgeable, shouted out “BOMBS” as more bangs followed, a mad rush was made to the nearest air raid shelter which was quite close by, however the crush was so great, that nobody got in, as the bangs continued, coming nearer, the nearest one landed across the road, about twenty yards away on the little car park, the next one, the very last, we heard later, landed on an air raid shelter, one of the occupants was my cousins husband, all in the shelter were killed. Injured people started coming from buildings across the road, many bleeding badly, where the bomb blast had sucked the windows from

the upper floors, a great rush took place to get away from the Arsenal, and I got my bike and pedalled off along the Plumpstead [sic] Road towards home, as I went I saw our fighter attacking the bombers, wheeling round the sky about, machine guns rattling away, planes smoking, parachutes coming down

Dear Mr Jackson
We were pleased to receive your letter telling us you were [underlined] all [/underlined] recovered from your thrilling experience of [underlined] [underlined] “that Monday A.M.” [/underlined] [/underlined] We were only too delighted to be of any assistance to you, it was indeed a pleasure to help you, (if you could call it help,) it was our duty, we owe a lot to all you gallant air-men[sic]. Please give our kind regards to the other air-men [sic] who was with you & if you do decide to come down at Rudston [underlined] in the future [/underlined] please call at “The Forge”, where you are welcome. The other day a labourer brought us the enclosed maps found in a field & as it had your address I decided to post them to you, otherwise I should have sent them on to the R.A.F. Station at Driffield.

Again I assure you we were both my husband & self delighted to have been any assistance to you.
My husband joins in with me in wishing you [underlined] [underlined] all [/underlined] [/underlined] “Good Luck” & the best always,

My darling Kay, I’m just in the middle of writing a fairy story, about a young knight “whose judgement left much to be desired” and a precious stone (or jewel) which turned into a beautiful maiden “who simply radiated love and warmth”. It’s not a long story but it’s more or less to the point. It’ll have its first private reading in bed, when we’ve time.
Your, Peter.

The nerves of the mind curiosity and scepticism, are benumbed by the habits of obedience & belief.
In a light of precaution, all conquest must be ineffectual, unless it could be universal, since the increasing circle must be involved in a larger sphere of hostility.
According to the measure of its’ [sic] strength a states hostilities receive the names of conquest or robbery.
If we contrast the rapid progress of this mischievous discovery (GUNPOWDER) with the slow & laborious advances of reason, science, and the arts of peace, a philosopher, according to his temper, will laugh or weep at the folly of mankind.
The wind & the waves are always on the side of the ablest navigator.

There is the wisdom of the foolish.

[underlined] To Kay, as love appeared [/underlined]
In all Her bountiful and queenly grace arrayed
Venus from high Olympus Earthwards strayed,
And gave Her blessing. Thus enchanter she
Did bid me kneel and pledge my faith to thee.
Uncalled unthought of, unexpected came
That sweet sensation; with a name
So often lipped unmeaningly, yet far above
All other words, - sweet love.
Undream’d of, unsuspected happiness
Encompassed me, as I perceived that this
Ungiven heart could err no more,
Now given to my Kathleen’s tender care.
C.R.H.
Sagan, August 1943
[page break]
[underlined] To Kay [/underlined]
Calm moments give to golden thoughts,
From thoughts to reverie
On untold things in days to come,
With thou & me in harmony
Such thoughts make life seem beautiful,
And seeming, therefore is.
What need of other wishes,
What more achieve than they?
Sweet Kay, what need to pen these words
When all to this succumbs, -
Dear when I shall have won thee
Life itself a poem becomes.

Although KL Eck was convicted at his Courts-Martial it seems strange that after sinking the DAHOMIAN he didn’t kill any survivors. Might I suggest some further research to clarify the position? It was not known in 1945 that U 852 has sunk the DAHOMIAN.

Royal Air Force Station,
Kirmington,
Lincolnshire.
29th. September 1943.
Dear Mrs Milling
Before you receive this letter you will have been informed by telegram that your husband, Sergeant Edward Milling, is missing from air operations.
He was the Navigator of an aircraft which failed to return from an attack on Hanover on the night of the 27th. September, 1943.
There is, of course, a fair chance that the whole of the crew may eventually be reported as prisoner of war, and I trust you may derive some comfort from this hope.
Your husband was a member of a most experienced crew and his loss is deeply regretted. I can only offer you my sincere personal sympathy and express the hope that he may have been able to escape from the aircraft.
Any further information that may be received will be forwarded to you immediately.
Yours sincerely
Reginald Twamley

19th November, 1946.
Dear Mrs. E. Milling,
It is with reluctance that I must once again refer to the loss of your husband, Sergeant Edward Milling, Royal Air Force, but you will wish to know that a report has now been received as the result of investigations carried out by the Royal Air Force Missing Research and Enquiry Service in Germany.
This report states that your husband and his five comrades are interred in graves numbered 1-6 in the north east corner of the cemetery at Heyersum, approximately 6 Miles west of Hildesheim. Owing to the circumstances under which they lost their lives, however, individual identification was only possible for Sergeant Jackson, Acting Flight Lieutenant McGhie and Sergeant Ackroyd, who are interred in graves numbered 1, 2, and 3 respectively. Graves numbered 4-6 have been marked with crosses inscribed collectively with the full service particulars of your husband and the two remaining members of the crew.
All the members of the other crew involved are interred in a communal grave in the cemetery at Mahlerten.
It is hoped that the knowledge of your husband’s place of burial received after so great a lapse of time, will afford you some slight measure of consolation in your great loss.
Yours sincerely,
[signature]
Mrs. E. Milling,
57, West Crescent,
