History will judge if knowingly killing so many innocent people without militairy goals will be translated into heroism or something else.
I'm not very interested in your twitter type posts re good and bad on all sides, we are all guilty in a way, things will be different from now on, and similar platitudes. I strongly urge you to study the history of your own country and its people. In 1940 each and every one of them was faced with a moral dilemma; do I resist or do I collaborate? Mercifully we were spared that in the UK thanks as ever to being an island.
You expressed surprise at the Wiki link I posted re the Occupation of the Netherlands. So here is the story of those who resisted :-

and those who chose collaboration :-

There wasn't much time for long drawn out debate. You had to decide to go along with all of this or not. Try and put yourself into that situation and honestly ask yourself what would I have done? In the meantime I agree with brakedwell. This thread is about Bomber Harris, not about you and your world view, nor mine for that matter. If you can defend your quote above alluding to Harris then do so. Otherwise, enough already!
