It's very rare to get an eye witness account for WWII that covers events in the UK and Germany throughout the war, but Guy Gibson saw them all from his plane. This book has really made me see the war differently. It gives incredible insight into how training, technique and science were being honed to make the armies more lethal and effective. It shows how the rules of engagement developed from trying to avoid harming civilians in Kiel (even at the expense of missing military targets) to both sides actively targeting civilians in heavy industry or civilians more generally. Recommended to anyone wanting to understand more about what happened.
