I read a very interesting book by Adolph Galland, the commander of the fighter wing of the Luftwaffe and also an ace with something like 200 victories.
The book is really interesting, giving the inside view of the war from their perspective. He in no was tries to minimize German atrocities, but he did mention a couple of times that the allies were bombing civilian centers quite puposely. He said all higher officers in all air forces knew the difference between industrial and civilan areas.
I agree the Germans (nor the Japanese) have an moral ground to complain but I still think the deliberate bombing of civlians was not only wrong but a war crime. Also it didn’t break German morale, it just made them more determined.
'The First and the Last'? Excellent book.
