Personally I find it easy to rationalise military honours in battle, and the bravery of individual combatants, but here we glory an attack on a series of targets that had severe or potentially severe effects on 'civilians' - So I still think that glorifying such an event from the other side would be greeted with outrage from most in this country.
Revisionist history - are you David Irving by any chance?
It was total war - the civilians killed by 617 were acceptable collateral damage. We don't glorify the area bombing of Dresden - that is a different argument. We wouldn't expect the Luftwaffe today to glorify their raids on London and Coventry either.
