Letter: `Bomber' postage stamps: a flight into controversy
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: The "obnoxious" actions of RAF bombers, depicted on the new Royal Mail stamps which Eamonn Molloy and Nick Hunt object to (Letters, 11 June), helped to ensure that they and their like are now free men.
The compatriots of their friends in Germany were fully behind Hitler when he was winning. Hitler could not have achieved so much without the full co-operation of the German people. Mr Molloy and Mr Hunt would not be enjoying the freedom of education and speech they now have had it not been for the sacrifice made by millions of men and women throughout the world. I survived the war but am still suffering the effects of German barbarity whilst a prisoner of war.
People like Mr Molloy and Mr Hunt should keep their comments to themselves, at least until my generation has all gone.
