How cruel and hypocritical of the museum adminstrators to take such a stance against their country's veterans! These men were serving their country against Nazi Germany, under orders to do what they did, and at great peril to themselves. If they think "war crimes" were committed, they should be talking to the men issuing orders, not the men receiving them.

| "Why do the museum officials hype this statement except to reinforce the implication that Bomber Command aircrew were guilty of war crimes?" asked Donald Elliott, a 90-year-old airman who was shot down over Germany during a bombing raid and spent more than three years in prison camps. He said the offending panel and photos imply that the airmen "had been party to the commission of a moral crime. Veterans see it as a bitter insult." |
