Might as well charge any members of a B17 or B24 for committing war crimes. Yes it’s is a crime according to the Geneva convention to make war on civilians miles away the front line.

As far as Japan goes, Geneva conventions didn't exist. Once Japan used the fu-go balloon bombs to try to kill our citizens in 1942 (and killed one family), their citizens became fair game. And don't get me started on the fact that the Axis powers killed six times as many civilians as the Allied powers, yet 78 years later only Americans beat themselves up over it (the atom bombs).

To: Tell It Right

My post was to ridicule the hypocrisy of judging a kid, a kid at the time as if he was at the conference the Nazis decided what to do about the “*Jewish Question”
I would like to see the source of your information on civilian deaths, Allies vs Axis.
Considering Germany nor Japan didn’t have strategic bombers in action like the Allies which basically floated every major city in Germany and Japan and a few towns on the Normandy coast.
Germany certainly destroyed a few cities like Warsaw, Stalingrad(which was bombed by both sides) and a few other cities I can’t recall at this moment.
