back in high school i remember one of my teachers telling us a story (its pretty well known, i think) about something that happened (i thinkit was) in either WWI or WWII...basically it was about how some man who risked bombing/destroying a whole village for a greater cause (i.e so that others some place else would be saved from something else which i dont remember what :-[)


what was the story and what was the name of the man.

my details are extremely sketchy, but that's the gist of it :-[:-[:-[

Harry S. Truman.

Or is Harry a nickname for Henry? Like Dick for Richard, and Bill for William?

I think in the Picture of Dorian Gray. Lord Henry is called Harry, so it could be so.

^come to think of it, i don't think it had any relation to the atomic bombings...
i know that a village was destroyed to save the lives of more people somewhere else. If i remember correctly it was either destroy the smaller village and have less people die, or destroy the larger city (?) and have more people die.

Do you remember where was that story happened ?
i think the small village was somewhere in england...

It tactic was related to ground batle.
If that village was in england, that was not WW1 or WW2. German army never landed in mainland of england.
I think that story had no any relation to some batle in england but had a relation to a british.
Hhmmm,........how about Lawrence of Arabia ?.

It is me again.
I still so curious, who is he (who are they) and what case is that ?
That case was related to Britain or British and related to action for rescued other. And that was happened in WW1 or WW2.
Maybe they were Tommies, a nickname for British army soldier in WW2. and that story was 'Evacuation from Dunkirk'.
In 1940 British and French soldiers were under sieged by Nazi in Dunkirk, France. Some of them were bombed and another can escaped to England.
