- Double-weighted statement
- This book is clearly based on a wealth of original research in multiple languages (German, French, and English), and commands the historiographical with skill and insight. The range of the research here is well beyond what a single-weighted article would encompass, and offers an original interpretation of the issues at hand. The length (438 pp.) and breadth of the study warrants a double-weighted submission.

- English abstract
- This monograph examines the effect of Allied bombing on the final region of the Reich to come into the range of Allied aircraft, and the reasons why no adequate preparations were made in time. It details the way armament production was maintained to the end, in spite of the bombing, while civilian life disintegrated to pre-industrial levels. A second focus of the monograph is the fate of captured Allied air-men, and the way Nazi party officials organized a campaign of lynchings, which were anything but spontaneous and, in the countryside, pitched the Catholic peasantry against local Nazi activists.
