It's hard for us to take the moral high ground on that since 500 died in Coventry, whereas >100k died in Dresden, so the response was out of all proportion
Also, there's no evidence that killing civilians served any military purpose to either side.
Air Chief Harris should have been tried at Nuremberg along with all the Nazis really. Maybe Churchill too since he sanctioned it. But, lolwewon so that obviously wasn't going to happen.
