Marshal of the Royal Air Force Sir Arthur Travers Harris, 1st Baronet GCB, OBE, AFC (13 April 1892 – 5 April 1984), commonly known as "Bomber" Harris by the press, and often within the RAF as "Butcher" Harris, was Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief (AOC-in-C) RAF Bomber Command during the latter half of the Second World War. In 1942, the British Cabinet agreed to the "area bombing" of German cities. Harris was tasked with implementing Churchill's policy and supported the development of tactics and technology to perform the task more effectively. Harris assisted British Chief of the Air Staff Marshal of the Royal Air Force Charles Portal in carrying out the United Kingdom's most devastating attacks against the German infrastructure and population, including the Bombing of Dresden.
In 1910, at the age of 17, Harris emigrated to Southern Rhodesia, but he returned to England in 1915 to fight in the European theatre of the First World War. He joined the Royal Flying Corps, with which he remained until the formation of the Royal Air Force in 1918, and he remained in the Air Force through the 1920s and 1930s, serving in India, Mesopotamia, Persia, Egypt, Palestine, and elsewhere. At the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, Harris took command of No. 5 Group RAF in England, and in February 1942 was appointed head of Bomber Command. He retained that position for the rest of the war. After the War Harris moved to South Africa where he managed the South African Marine Corporation.

Plot: Turkish and his close friend/accomplice Tommy get pulled into the world of match fixing by the notorious Brick Top. Things get complicated when the boxer they had lined up gets badly beaten by Pitt, a 'pikey' ( slang for an Irish Gypsy)- who comes into the equation after Turkish, an unlicensed boxing promoter wants to buy a caravan off the Irish Gypsies. They then try to convince Pitt not only to fight for them, but to lose for them too. Whilst all this is going on, a huge diamond heist takes place, and a fistful of motley characters enter the story, including 'Cousin Avi', 'Boris The Blade', 'Franky Four Fingers' and 'Bullet Tooth Tony'. Things go from bad to worse as it all becomes about the money, the guns, and the damned dog!

Apologies about the poor VHS quality but this is now available to buy on DVD. I uploaded anyway because it's a thought-provoking historical drama made on a shoe-string budget with just a few costumes, sets and some very fine actors.

Der britisch-khasarische Luegner und Chefpropagandist Sefton Delmer (extremer Deutschenhasser & natuerlich Jude) erklärte 1945, wie man mit Deutschland nach der Kapitulation weiter verfahren würde: "Mit Gräuelpropaganda haben wir den Krieg gewonnen - und nun fangen wir erst richtig damit an. Wir werden diese Gräuelpropaganda fortsetzen, wir werden sie steigen, bis niemand mehr ein gutes Wort von den Deutschen annehmen wird, was sie etwa in anderen Ländern noch an Sympathien gehabt haben und sie selber so durcheinander geraten sein werden, daß sie nicht mehr wissen, was sie tun. Wenn das erreicht ist, wenn sie beginnen, ihr eigenes Nest zu beschmutzen und das etwa zähneknirschend, sondern in eilfertiger Bereitschaft den Siegern gefällig zu sein, dann erst ist der Sieg vollendet. Endgültig...
„Reported in the spring of 1945 in the Army newspaper The Stars and Stripes, with the front page headline: '250,000 Nazis killed." Over two days and nights in February 1945 British and American bombers turned the city into a sea of flames and rubble. The victims - mostly women and children - died in savage firestorms whipped up by the intense heat of 2,400 tons of high explosive and 1,500 tons of incendiary bombs. The same wie could found in japan, corea, vietnam, iraq, afganistan, and so on. Maybe the next liberated people wich can be lucky burnded alive to ashes are the iranian people.
