Firebombing of German cities too. The deaths from the firebombings over the years killed far more civilians than the two bombs did.

The story is that an Allied bomb hit the barn of some farm near a German factory. That gave Hitler the excuse to send his V2 to London, as we had started attacking “civilians”. Not sure how true it is.

After the fighting on Okinawa(?), with Japanese civilians killing themselves, and military fighting to the death, many thought it would be the same on Japan. Lots of dead on both sides. But mainly Japanese.
