My dearly departed dad who fought with the Gurkhas in Burma and was as patriotic as you could get, said Bomber Harris was totally wrong in bombing Dresden into oblivion. All's fair in love and war I reckon, but will someone please tell me why a 76 year old British paratrooper is in the dock whilst the serial lunatics are all commemorating the D-Day landings?
