state_electrician comments on The Big Three all agreed on Dresden as a target

What I do believe is that firebombing a city or dropping nukes on one is only a war crime if you lose the war.

Once again I’m reminded of the notion that had a genocidal maniac not decided to invade Europe, then firebomb cities, they may have not been firebombed themselves.

When everyone is punching everyone in the face nobody is right, unless someone started punching everyone else in the face and then decided to attempt to genocide everyone they didn’t like, then …. And I can’t express this strongly enough, you punch Nazis as hard as you can

I'm not saying that the Nazis didn't need to be stopped, but a war crime is a war crime and I hate people who pretend that killing tens of thousands of civilians is ever necessary. Just live up to it and don't pretend everything the Allies did was good.
