Although the raids were supposedly aimed at German military targets, the actual victims were overwhelmingly Serbian civilians. As this video shows, the Allied bombers destroyed homes, markets, churches and hospitals, and took many thousands of lives. (Runtime: 10:40 mins.) For example, British and American air forces struck Belgrade, the Serbian capital, on April 16 and 17, 1944. Some 600 US aircraft flying at high altitude carried out the "carpet bombing" raid, which resulted in an estimated 1,160 civilian casualties. (German military losses were 18.) Many of the Allied air attacks, particularly in May-June 1944, were meant to support operations by Communist "partisan" forces. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "serbia" group.
