More quotes by Sir Arthur Harris, 1st Baronet
There are a lot of people who say that bombing cannot win the war. My reply to that is that it has never been tried. . . and we shall see.
Sir Arthur Harris, 1st Baronet
Victory, speedy and complete, awaits the side which first employs air power as it should be employed. Germany, entangled in the meshes of vast land campaigns, cannot now disengage her air power for a strategically proper application. She missed victory through air power by a hair's breadth in 1940. . . . We ourselves are now at the crossroads.
Sir Arthur Harris, 1st Baronet
War is a nasty, dirty, rotten business. It's all right for the Navy to blockade a city, to starve the inhabitants to death. But there is something wrong, not nice, about bombing that city.
Sir Arthur Harris, 1st Baronet
Attacks on cities are strategically justified in so far as they tend to shorten the war and so preserve the lives of allied soldiers.
Sir Arthur Harris, 1st Baronet
In spite of all that happened at Hamburg, bombing proved a relatively humane method.
Sir Arthur Harris, 1st Baronet
The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw, and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind.
