"Sorry about the Germans in the cities--they should have moved to the villages, as they were ordered to do by the USAAF and the RAF".  Sorry, I read that and I laughed so hard I cried.  I can just see it now.  ''"Excuse me Mr. Nazi Security Officer who is, has and is part of group that systematically removes families and people from homes, sends them to death camps, kills people in the street, shoots people for the most trivial of offences, including not being patriotic enough, and when not involved in killing also happens to be involved in some of the most brutal, despicable and unacceptable torture and medical experiments the world has ever seen which has not just been practiced on adults but also children as young as babies, our enemies have told us that they are going to bomb us so you don't mind if I don't come into work for say, oh the next three or four years."''.  There are few people who are truly defiant and willing to ignore the orders of the man who has a gun pointed to their head.  There are even fewer who are willing to be that defiant when the man with the gun has it pointed at the head of their children.  And that assumes that any significant part of the civilian population even heard the warnings.  I doubt the Nazi Government passed the message on and anybody caught listening to the radio frequencies used by the British or other allies was automatically assumed to be a spy, taken away and questioned with a red-hot poker until they either a) broke and admitted they were a spy to stop the torture regardless of whether they were a spy or not or b) broke and admitted they were a spy to stop the torture regardless of whether they were a spy or not.  A few years of that kind of government policy is going to make sure very few people on Germany would be that keen to listen to anything that the Allies said.[[User:Ieuan|Ieuan]] 02:25 7/Nov/08 GMT
