BERLIN, March 31 — Britain’s King Charles III will commemorate German victims of World War II Allied air raids on Friday, a gesture carrying great significance for both countries.
The air raids, which were among the most controversial actions taken by the Allies, were designed to terrorise the population and force a surrender. But they killed tens of thousands of civilians.‘It matters’On July 24, 1943, Britain and the United States began raiding Hamburg in what was described as a “Blitz week”, with the Royal Air Force striking by night and the US forces bombing by day.
The themes of reconciliation and a future forged by common values have featured prominently during Charles’ three-day visit, widely interpreted as a bid to build bridges after Brexit.But during his trip as king, he managed to score several firsts, including becoming the only monarch to address the German parliament., Hamburg-based historian Helene von Bismarck said Charles’ stop at the memorial is more than just another photo op.
