The Battle of Britain dragged on, with variations. Tiring of bombing London (that great grey elephant, Winston Churchill called it) with so little effect on the morale of the British people, Hermann Göring decided to switch tactics and obliterate a few cherished historical monuments important to British history. That, he figured, will cut right to their hearts; they value their heritage much more than their miserable dwellings, and they will want to give up this senseless struggle. So he sent hundreds of planes to flatten the city of Coventry and its revered cathedral; destroy it all the way Rome destroyed Carthage, he said. Leave nothing but a flat plain strewn with rubble.
