Whether the explosion was an honest error that can attributed to the fog of war, or whether it was a "false flag" designed to bring Poland, and by extension NATO, into the war, will likely never be known. Finally Mr. Helfner, the author of this[URL=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Britain#Main_assault] Wiki[/URL] article does not agree with your immediate position regarding the Battle of Britain (following quote edited by this auther). [i][list] [*]Luftwaffe doctrine included the possibility of retaliatory attacks on cities, and since 11 May small scale night raids by RAF Bomber Command had frequently bombed residential areas. The Germans assumed this was deliberate, and as the raids increased in frequency and scale the population grew impatient for measures of revenge. On 25 August 1940, [b]81 bombers of Bomber Command were sent out to raid industrial and commercial targets in Berlin. Clouds prevented accurate identification and the bombs fell across the city, causing some casualties among the civilian population as well as damage to residential areas[/b]. Continuing RAF raids on Berlin led to Hitler withdrawing his directive on 30 August, and giving the go-ahead to the planned bombing offensive. On 3 September Göring planned to bomb London daily, with General Albert Kesselring's enthusiastic support, having received reports the average strength of RAF squadrons was down to five or seven fighters out of twelve and their airfields in the area were out of action. Hitler issued a directive on 5 September to attack cities including London. In his widely publicised speech delivered on 4 September 1940, Hitler condemned the bombing of Berlin and presented the planned attacks on London as reprisals. The first daylight raid was titled Vergeltungsangriff (revenge attack).[/i] [/list] [/QB][/QUOTE]
