ACCIDENT. The Death of General Sikorski
In 1943 the Polish prime minister in exile, General Wladyslaw Sikorski, was killed in a British plane crash at Gibraltar. The Germans claimed it was an assassination. The RAF flew a Board of Inquiry to Gibraltar to investigate, and this cleared the pilot of blame. The death of the Polish prime minister came at a convenient moment for Winston Churchill. In this 1967 book David Irving investigates the mystery; he published the Board's secret report, and spoke with the pilot twice, and with others involved.
First published April 30, 1963. Using official papers, private records, and the accounts of eye-witnesses on both sides, David Irving gives a harrowing account of the two saturation bombing raids executed by RAF Bomber Command on Germany's most beautiful city at the end of the war, a horrific firestorm raid which left over 100,000 innocent civilians dead or missing. Jacketed hardback.
