.@brownson_review. We did use some very blunt instruments, but it is by no means clear that they won the war. Indiscriminate aerial bombing did surprisingly little damage to the Nazi war machine. Please see https://t.co/0iibkMkamu — PolitiTweet.org

.@brownson_review. You might find this interesting https://t.co/8BdgzEngmu . The huge, very German, Schloss or Citadel which dominated Kaliningrad was blown up at some point in the 1970s on the orders of Alexei Kosygin. Obliteration was the aim. — PolitiTweet.org

I am much of your opinion @ianinsurbiton. For instance, I think Clement Attlee was a great Labour leader, but his role in preventing and delaying British rearmament in the 1930s is shocking. All educated people should know about his virtues *and* his failures. — PolitiTweet.org

Strange to look at a map of a city which no longer exists This (dating from 1936) was Koenigsberg in East Prussia, now Kaliningrad in Russia. Very little remains (though German manhole covers can still be spotted, and I visited the tomb of Immanuel Kant on a visit in 1992. https://t.co/UL2U3PcTZa — PolitiTweet.org

that was what I thought. There is a marvellous passage in Mary Renault’s clever novel ‘ The Bull from the Sea’’ in which a Jewish captive explains to Greek polytheists the nature of the One God. — PolitiTweet.org
