Horst Boog

Horst Boog (5 January 1928 – 8 January 2016) was a German historian who specialised in the history of Nazi Germany and World War II. He was the research director at the Military History Research Office (MGFA). Boog was a contributor to several volumes of the seminal work ''Germany and the Second World War'' from the MGFA. He was an expert on the Luftwaffe and the German side of the aerial war in Europe during World War II.

Boog also wrote for the right-wing, nationalistic newspaper ''Junge Freiheit'' and became politically active in the context of debates about the Allied strategic bombing during World War II. Since the early 1990s almost all of his work concentrated on arguing that Nazi Germany did not start bombing of civilians. Provided by Wikipedia
