"Braddock II". Note by Secretary

Now that the Nazis' morale and the Nazis' fortress are beginning to crack, there is reason to hope that a considerable number of forced workers and possibly even of anti-Nazi Germans might feel that this gave them an opportunity of directly contributing to the termination of their misery. If Gauleiters' houses were burned down, food supplies and factories were destroyed on a large scale, etc., the results on German morale might be profound. I have no doubt that Bomber Command will strenuously oppose the necessary and comparatively small diversion of their forces from bombing.
