[Burgess, John]

That's most interesting and I'd like to see David Irving(e?)'s sources.

I don't suppose the fact that the docks of London -- at that time the 
world's largest -- just happen to lie in the east of the city (where 
there's still deep draft and before you get to the bridges) had anything 
to do with targetting?  That had been my supposition, but spoofing the 
Germans on just where they things were landing makes a certain amount of 
sense.  There were, after all, false light constellations to mislead 
bombers that they were over the city while they were actually over 
farmland.

It seems a tad callous to think that the rockets would have been 
intentionally "redirected" to the docklands.  Not telling the people of 
Canterbury about an impending air raid seems a lot different from saying 
"bomb here."

Just my opinion, of course.
