Berlin: Germany's biggest selling tabloid, Bild, on Monday called on the Queen of England to apologise for Britain's wartime destruction of German cities, ahead of her state visit to Germany. In a provocative double-page spread, the newspaper urged the Queen to utter a ``few suitable words of regret'' during her three-day trip for the thousands of German civilians killed during British air raids. The tabloid's campaign has attracted no support from Germany's Centre-Left Government but comes at a tricky moment in Anglo-German relations — and when the idea that Germans were also victims of the Second World War is for the first time being more broadly debated. On Monday, British officials said there was no prospect of the Queen apologising during her visit to Berlin which began on Tuesday. On Monday, Bild, which sells nearly 4 million copies a day, ran an essay by the revisionist German historian Jorg Friedrich in which he attacked Britain's destruction of Dresden as ``senseless''. —
