TMOGV, Chapter 21b: The Allied Goal - DESTRUCTION OF GERMANY!!!

Hitler had repeatedly tried to reach a peace agreement with Britain, first after the war with Poland, and second after Dunkirk, only to have his peace overtures rejected. He had also sent Rudolph Hess on a Quixotic mission during the Battle of Britain to try to arrange a peace agreement, but Churchill refused to even listen to Hess. He had had him thrown into prison where he remained for the duration of the war. The British wanted only to destroy Germany and had no interest in making peace. Hitler, on the other hand, would have welcomed any chance to reach a peace agreement with both Britain and the United States at any time during the war. “Unconditional surrender”was Roosevelt’s and Churchill’s answer. At the same time that they refused to accept anything short of unconditional surrender, Britain and the United States continued relentlessly to destroy one German city after another by massive bomber raids.
