pjw, not a casualty of war , a planed war crime .
Air Marshal Sir Arthur Harris aka " bomber Harris" , talked the Americans into bombing civilians as a matter of course.
After the war he said " If the Germans had won I would have been hung as a war criminal, and rightly so."
schubert I understand what you are saying but you already know that Nazi Germany was the undisputed world leader when it came to war crimes (with Imperial Japan second).
Besides the Holocaust the Germans bombed many more cities with innocent civilians in Poland, Holland, Belgium, France and England.
Even as Nazi Germany knew the Thousand Year Reich was finished (it lasted 12 years) they were shooting many of their newly developed "wonder weapons", The V - 2 rockets (the worlds first long range guided ballistic missile) at London as revenge for the Anglo American Allies bombing of German cities.
I’m not saying any of it is right. Its why there should never be another World War.
