Winners make tough choices.

Show me in the norms of war at the time where strategic bombing was considered a war crime. Show me where in Nuremberg anyone was charged for area bombing the Luftwaffe did.

Because they won, if they lost then pretty much everything they done would have been an unspeakably evil war crime .

This happens in every conflict in history, victors are noble because they get to decide so. Whoever is in power is better from their perspective than those that are trying to get into power.

>>3165290
Because there was no rule at the time that made strategic bombing a war crime. That's why nobody was prosecuted for the Blitz or the firebombing of Tokyo.

Because it never happened you fucking Kraut scum

>>3165290
Because the idea of war crimes as something people could actually be tried for didn't exist before the Nuremberg trials.

Even in modern history, war crimes were only imposed on the losers of wars. This only changed in 1945 with the creation of the ICJ to prosecute countries for war crimes (like the bombing of civilians). Even then, individuals weren't legally held responsible until 2002, when the ICC was created by the Rome Treaty, allowing individuals to be charged with war crimes

Because it was a legitimate military target as the main railhead for Eastern Germany.

>>3165290

same reason no german bombers were tried for war crimes. bombing the ever living shit out of the enemy was considered part of the game

Because they lost. Winners write history.

And Dresden is tiny compared to the fire bombings of Tokyo. Had they lost, the USA would be considered just as evil as the Soviets.

Because it didn't happen. But it should have.

>>3165290
Strategic bombing isn't a warcrime. No german was prosecuted for the blitz.

>>3166156
why did they even go full retard in 1945? Both british and americans decided to directly target civilians.

Evidence?

>>3165290
Because the Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw, and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind.

Harris, you know that pretending to be dead so you can shitpost on 4chan counts as tax evasion, right?
