This Is War

The round the clock bombing Of German cities by the
British and American air forces has stirred the right
eous indignation Of cergymen in England and the
United States that they have voice vigorous protests against
what they term the brutal inhumane killing Of innocent
German civilians.
1t is true, war always cruel and bloody business
which brings suffering and death TO countless innocent
men, women and children but who started this war? 1t
Hitler and the German people whom he represents.

England The Germans responsible for what is hap

This is total war. Civilians making materials on
the home front and soldiers fighting the battle fronts

bombing by enemy planes whether in Germany, England
