Its interesting that we've also had the same crap from some Germans, with a large number of them now referring to Churchill & Sir Arthur Harris as "War Criminals", on the basis that the British and US strategic policy of bombing German cities from 1942 onwards was no more than terror bombing and had little military usefulness, with the bombing of Dresden being a classic example.

I'm sorry, Herr Fritz, but you're wrong, matey. At least you got to shoot down Lancasters and B17's and lynch the pilots. The Nazis were the ones who begin the policy of laying waste cities, starting with Guernica, then Warsaw,Rotterdam and London...they sowed the seed and then they reaped the whirl wind. Except our technology was bigger and better than theirs. - although I really do think there was nothing greater than a terror weapon than the V1's and V2's of 1944/45.
