It's a shame the entire collection wasn't donated to the RAF Museum.

Done, my apologies for the omission, I was not convinced I had a full list. If I have missed any other cities/towns pleas let me know.
Aberdeen, received many raids throughout the war after Norway had been invaded and put the City within range. The harbour was the main target, both for ships afloat and also a major shipbuilding role. The Luftwaffe aircrew downed and killed are buried in the Dyce Old Kirkyard Commonwealth War Graves, along with RAF and other allied aircrew from RAF Dyce. As with all CWGs, the Luftwaffe graves (although in a separate section) are tended and cared for as all Commonwealth Graves are.

More importantly bombing workers houses was ,this former pilot stated justified. The justification was that the workers were the producers of the war materials that allowed Germany to wage war. The workers were therefore justified targets.
On that basis, there are no civilians, just enemy war material producers. It is an argument Gen Curtis LeMay endorsed fully. Others may differ.
