Not P but The Blitz

[Erik T. Burns]

 "The British headline writers came up with the phrase “The Baedecker
Blitz” because it seemed the Luftwaffe planners were selecting targets by
consulting the German guide-book that rated cities according to their
cultural worth."

my word, it turns out it *is* Pynchon-related!

( "Loot the *Baedeker* I did, all the details of a time and place I had
never been to, right down to the names of the diplomatic corps." --*Slow
Learner* intro)
