Mr. Putin Your Callous And Inhumane Campaign To Destroy Ukraine Infrastructure for Electric Power And Natural Gas Won't Work!!

       One of our readers is a special man named Denys Davydov. He was given the nickname "Our man in Ukraine." Due to the vicious Russian attacks on the infrastructure of power generation and heating he has relocated his family to an unnamed country where he can continue his superb podcasts and renew his career as an airline pilot. 

   My mind goes back to Germany during World War II. Germany was bombarded day and night by US and British bombers and fighters. Most German cities were reduced to piles of ruin. History pays scant attention to what happened to electricity generating and distribution grids and the system for distributing natural gas for heating during cold German winters that I know well. 

    I am sure that many German people suffered like people in Ukraine are suffering now. I will send Vladimir Putin a lesson in history from 1945 after Germany surrendered. Albert Speer was a man from a wealthy family. He was cultured and highly intelligent. He spoke fluent English. Albert Speer first came to Adolf Hitler as his chief architect. He later was promoted to Nazi Garmany's Minister of Armaments. Historians praise his brilliant performance. The majority of historians believe that Germany would have collapsed at the end of 1943 without the work of Speer. He kept the Nazi war machine going for another year and almost months. On the day of Germany's surrender, fighters were being produced in underground factories to resist allied air attacks. 

    Speer was captured by the US Army. A group of US Army Air Corps and British Royal Air Force officers eagerly came to interview him. The first question posed to Speer was: 

      "How effective was our day and night strategic bombing campaign?" 

      Speer thought carefully. He shrugged his shoulders and shook his head. He responded in English as follows: 

      "It did no good at all." 

     Mr. Putin, your callous and inhumane attacks on Ukraine's infrastructure for power production and distribution as well as natural gas will not break the spirit and the will to resist the people of Ukraine have.
