The 8th was used as a terror force. The commanders were war criminals responsible for more civilian death and suffering than the SS.
My Grandpa was in the 8th though...a navigations officer on a 17 and later 24. Brave bunch of guys...it’s a shame they were used the way they were
They didn’t start it.
And they were doing what it took to finish it.
Civilians do bear responsibility for the actions of the government they select and support.
The 8th didn’t finish [bleep]. German production ramped up all the way until the end. Russia did what it took to finish the job make no mistake
