United Nations did not introduce in this war but to sap                                                                        
its strength and render it ineffective in the face of   
German military claims that through air alone would the war   
                     be won. We quote:                      
 
                                                            
 
 
 "All German authorities who have dealt with the  
          subject have made it clear that they believe air  
          superiority to be decisive. General Geering,                                                                         
          speaking on January llth, 1941, said: 'When you                                                                      
          consider the power of the Luftwaffe, no one can                                                                      
          doubt the issue of the war. Major Wolf Bley,                                                                        
          the German air expert, said on June 27th last:                                                                      
          'The Axis leaders have turned the decisive  
          Importance of the Luftwaffe into a weapon which  
          ensures victory.' Field-Marshal Kesselring, of  
           the Luftwaffe, when asked in April, 1941, which  
           weapon of war would prove decisive, replied:                                               
           'The air arm must decide the issue. We shall  
           regard the Luftwaffe's aim as achieved when                                                                         
           military occupation can follow more or less with-                                                                   
         out fighting.' Hitler evidently considered  
           overwhelming air power to be decisive when he                                             
           referred to the projected conquest of Britain  
           in 1940 with the words: 'There are no longer any  
                               islands "                    
 
                                                            
 
 
I shall undertake (1) to discourage, in London and  
  Washington, indiscriminate bombing and to urge that targets  
  be confined to munitions plants and communication centers; (2) to have   
     the public warned to move away from danger zones.
