Historian calls on Allies to show regret for air-raids

A BRITISH historian yesterday said it was time for the Allies to show regret for the bombing of German civilians during World War Two.

Author and lecturer Dr Mark Connelly said the British powers have always drawn a shroud over the bombing tactics of the 1939-45 conflict but should now show public sorrow.

His comments come after a German historian accused the British of deliberately and indiscriminately targeting civilians and were effectively guilty of war crimes.
