I just watched The Bombardment on Netlfix, which was about the British bombing in Copenhagen during Operation Carthage.

I've watched A LOT of WWII movies but this was the hardest one for me to get through.

The Nazis were getting close to pulling the thread on the Danish Resistance and the resistance asked the Brits to bomb the building that held all the files, and consequently the resistance prisoners.

One of the bombers hit a light tower on accident and crashed into a Catholic school and the next two waves of bombers mistook it for the target.

This one really shook me up. WWII movies are mostly about either the soldier's stories or the horrors of the Holocaust but these were just innocents in a country that wasn't even the battleground.

The children who didn't die immediately but died trapped in the rubble.

The adults who couldn't get to them to save them

The families whose kids never came home

The pilots who made the mistake

Then you think of how many thousands of incidents just like this must have happened during the war that are just a paragraph in a historical military book.

It was just another incredible reminder that war is a terrible, terrible thing.
