| Summary |
Examines the defining moments of the Allied bombing campaign in Germany during WW II. The US believed a bomber fleet would decide battles from a distance, without the face-to-face slaughter of a land war. They were determined to fight a clean war that did not target civilians, but before long the distinction between combatant and civilian became blurred for all sides. Weaving together veteran and historian interviews with archival footage, the program is a haunting reminder of the moral dilemma imposed by war's strategic imperatives.
