Flächenbombardements
Translation examples
Aus diesem Grund gaben die Briten die Vorstellung eines Präzisionsschlags auf und verfolgten in beiden Weltkriegen die Strategie des Flächenbombardements. Sie luden ihre Bomben einfach unterschiedslos über den Städten ab, mit dem Ziel, die deutsche Zivilbevölkerung obdachlos zu machen, zu demoralisieren und zu töten.
For a variety of reasons, including the technical challenges, the British simply abandoned the quest for precision: in both the First World War and the Second, the British military pursued a strategy of morale or area bombing, in which bombs were simply dropped, indiscriminately, on urban areas, with the intention of killing, dispossessing, and dispiriting the German civilian population.
