In today's history documentary, we're going to dive into the debate surrounding the Blitz of Rotterdam that occurred on the 14th of May 1940. Using various sources (full bibliography linked below) and studying the memoirs of Albert Kesselring (the Luftwaffe commander), it should be possible to decide whether this was a deliberate act, or an accident as some have claimed. And it should be possible to pin the blame on the person(s) responsible. • Note: I put the wrong name for the quote at ~10:30, it was von Lingen, not Macksey. • The thumbnail for this video was created by Terri Young.

I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do. • This video is discussing events or concepts that are academic, educational and historical in nature. This video is for informational purposes and was created so we may better understand the past and learn from the mistakes others have made.
