Pioneer in strategic bombing

He ass blasted Germany so hard they had to Specifically ban firebombing of civilian areas in the 1949 geneva convention revision to stop him from "Doing It Again".

He was without a doubt a war criminal for what he did, but to be fair everyone was a war criminal and you just did what you had too to win the war.

You're never a war criminal if you win.

in terms of applicaiton, but he is not the originator of the idea

>>34621098
well if he'd be the pioneer of strategic bombing he'd also be a war criminal. But going with /k/'s "da nazis did da same therefore it's not a crime" position he'd be neither

Curtis LeMay was better at it.

Pioneer.

Germany 100 % deserved it.
> The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everybody else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw, and half a hundred other places, they put that rather naïve theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now, they are going to reap the whirlwind

By the point dresden was destroyed the germans had:
> Invaded Numerous neutral powers
> Strafed refugee columns across france and belgium
> Strategically bombed cities
> Sank millions of tonnes of merchants & executed survivors
> Launched indiscriminate V1s & V2s at London
> Allies had started to liberate concentration camps

If you dish out you can't take it, don't dish it out.

DO IT AGAIN HARRY! DO IT AGAIN!

The real question is, who did it better?

>>34621098

War is crimes against humanity. But criminals need to be punished, so we have war. Humans are heroic criminals that must self-punish through war for reasons
