‎THE THREE-STAR BLITZ: THE BAEDEKER RAIDS AND THE START OF TOTAL WAR 1942-1943.‎

‎London: Leo Cooper 1987. 184 pp large 8vo 9 1/2" H. B&w photographs. "The German attempt to break the morale of the British by bombing London in 1940 did not succeed so two years later they switched their targets to the undefended cathedral cities of Exeter Bath York Canterbury and Norwich cities marked in Karl Baedeker's famous guidebook with three stars. Hence the name by which they came to be known. This time the British were not slow to retaliate and the punishment rained down upon the unfortunate people of Hamburg and Cologne surpassed in ferocity anything that had gone before. From now on the morale of the civil population came to be regarded as a legitimate target in the battle to break the enemy's will. Charles Whiting describes in detail the Baedeker raids on the cathedral cities of England and the retaliatory raids on Germany illustrating his story with the recollections of many of those who survived the raids. He analyses the personalities of the Top Brass on both sides who authorized the bombings and shows how the change in attitude to indiscriminate bombing gradually came about. It is a gruesome yet fascinating story told with all the vividness which readers of Charles Whiting's books will have come to expect." One corner with very minor bump. Dust jacket has light browning at top and bottom of spine and at top edge light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds very light rubbing. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good-.

‎* Peter Supf (* 3. Oktober 1886 in Nürnberg als Peter Wilhelm Ernst Supf; ? 26. Februar 1961 in München) war ein deutscher Schriftsteller, der als Fliegerdichter bekannt wurde. Supf wuchs in Nürnberg auf und studierte Jura an den Universitäten Genf, Oxford, München und Berlin. 1909 veröffentlichte er noch unter dem Namen ?Willi Supf? einen ersten Band mit Gedichten. Nach seiner Promotion an der Universität Greifswald Ende Oktober 1912 mit der Arbeit Elsaß-Lothringen und die staatsrechtliche Natur des deutschen Reichs legte er das Referendarsexamen ab. Aus dem Staatsdienst trat er bald wieder aus und lebte fortan als freier Schriftsteller. Nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg, an dem er bis zu seiner schweren Verwundung am 19. April 1917 als Flieger-Beobachter teilnahm, warb Supf für die deutsch-französische Verständigung. Er veröffentlichte 1919 im renommierten Diederichs Verlag einen Band mit von seinen Flugerlebnissen geprägten Gedichten. Es folgten mehrere Lyrikbände, eine Novelle und Sachbücher zur Luftfahrt. Der Fliegerei galten die meisten seiner Werke, wofür ihm die Lufthansa 1928 als erstem und bisher einzigem Menschen einen lebenslangen Freiflugschein verlieh. Supf unterhielt Briefwechsel mit einigen der bekanntesten Schriftsteller seiner Zeit, darunter Thomas Mann (der Supfs Erinnerungen Kindheit in Nürnberg und den Gedichtband O Mensch in Mann und Weib rezensierte), Klaus Mann, Bruno Frank, Joachim Ringelnatz und Stefan Zweig. In der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus veröffentlichte Supf propagandistische und kriegsverherrlichende Bücher im Sinne des Regimes, darunter ein Werk zum Luftkrieg in Polen. Seine luftfahrthistorischen Werke aus dieser Zeit sind stark nationalistisch geprägt. Nach 1945 konnte er nicht an frühere literarische Erfolge anknüpfen und veröffentlichte u. a. Abenteuerromane und Sachbücher für die Jugend. 1956 war er Ehrenvorsitzender des Luftfahrt-Presseclubs e. V. (LPC) Frankfurt am Main[3]. Er starb 1961 nach langer Krankheit in München. In der Sowjetischen Besatzungszone und der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik wurden viele seiner NS-Schriften auf die Liste der auszusondernden Literatur gesetzt. (Quelle Wikipedia)‎
