Anyone who has read anything I've posted here knows I have nothing other than respect and admiration for those who went into the arena. I enjoy the life I have because of what they did, and I don't need that explaining to me by the likes of you.
Humour can also be enjoyably employed against pompous and overbearing personalities because as you will have noticed, they tend never to 'get it'.
Now I'll leave you alone to get on and dominate the thread in your monotonously supercilious fashion. Don't bother getting into a 'last word' contest with me because I assure you, you already have it - I won't be posting at the Lounge again.

From the official RAF history website, mention of two of the raids, mention of the use of models, but not who made them:

If there is any "domination of threads" at all, it is surely quite fitting that it is done by those with knowledge in the area being discussed.

I used to live in Aarhus(6 years), Rosensgade, by Domkirken, which is pretty much the middle of town, or maybe the middle of Downtown.
Across the road from my place was the Museum of the Occupation, Besættelsesmuseet, which was the early Gestapo HQ- it must have been the first site, then moved to somewhere a little further away- I can't imagine if that site was bombed, there's only a few metres between the museum and Domkirken, Aarhus' Cathedral.
That museum is very, very interesting-
the Danish people definitely did have it pretty rough under the German occupation- you can tell when you see shoes made from fish skin and childrens' sweaters re-sewn from maybe 5 old, worn out ones. The prison/interrogation cell inside the museum is very atmospheric indeed.
As it was just across the road from me, I was a regular visitor- I miss Aarhus Copenhagen and Denmark now.

Can anyone recommend an English language book about the Danish Resistance? Of course one with a minimal amount of personal/political opinion from the author.
Thank you, John
