Screw you back nazi lover - because Dresden ( and other German cities ) were contributing to the war effort - indeed Dresden was a major transit hub for german forces defending the reich from the Soviets.

Hardly honourable warfare.
LeMay never found his actions questionable morally so that is not what he is referring to - what he meant was that he would have been hauled before a victors court, along with many others.
Aw - so jews and others were murdered by the nazi's -
There is a great difference indeed - yet why we should consider the allies - from Roosevelt and Churchill down - to be "loathsome" for choosing to bomb german and japanese cities is not clear
I know - if only the allies had not been so insistent on this point then your beloved fuhrer could have remained in power to complete his mission - jawhol right?
You can whine on about "strategic purpose" but there WAS NO strategic purpose in killing innocents,
You clearly didn't read the actual article because it very obviously says that some of the campaigns were solely targeted at civilians and NOT military targets
Bombing shortened the war and saved lives - but keep at it with that 20/20 revisionist hindsight
Bomber Harris certainly said a lot of inflammatory things - that doesn't mean his bombers weren't putting the hurt on the German war machine
I don't need to read the revisionist propaganda even the first time - I don't read holocaust denier stuff either fwiw
It is NEVER acceptable to target a civilian population for no other reason than to instill terror
Neither is bombing german cities during WW2 -
Then because they are not among the most loathsome figures of the second world war
At least Harris is included, i still remember the storys of some of my relatives telling me about the firebombings.
They should not be on the list because they are not war criminals
I am sure the families of the people who died under Allied bombardment at Caen in Normany may well also feel that those who ordered these bombings were war criminals
Not so. LeMay admitted at the time that if the course of the war had gone differently he would certainly have been tried as a war criminal.
Go fuck yourself you nazi wacko
Go fuck yourself toots - LeMay was blunt and brutal but every means to end Imperial Japanese rule was acceptable for the hundreds of thousands it SAVED from their terror
