Quote by Prince Of Wales Charles

You have to give this much to the Luftwaffe: when it knocked down our buildings it did not replace them with anything more offensive than rubble. We did that.

You have to give this much to the Luftwaffe: when it knocked

Summary

This quote acknowledges the destructive power of the Luftwaffe during World War II. It reflects on the fact that while the Luftwaffe caused significant damage by knocking down buildings, it did not inflict any intentional harm beyond destruction. The quote suggests that the responsibility for further devastation, both physical and otherwise, was borne by the individuals and society themselves in the aftermath of the bombings, by either reinforcing the offensive actions or retaliating in destructive ways.
