Bloody churchill. I always knew that behind the cuddly nodding dog facade lingered the cold hearted gaze of hatred.

You're only a war criminal if you're on the losing side.

That is a good article, and I agree with it's argument that our conduct was hardly spotless during WW2.
*cough*Dresden*cough*
Etc.
Sure, the war was fighting evil bla bla bla. But some of the Allied actions were utterly needless. Mainly the bombing of German cities on such a scale. The Cossacks and Russia. Just as the article states.
Moral values transcend creed, nation, race etc.

Churchill was fine.
Hitler was evil and all those Germans and Nazis deserved what they got.

Until theres an invasion Fleet sitting in Calais... Its easy to criticise past actions, far less so when we too have a Devil Banging at our gates. Its easy to criticise the Allied Bombings, but its also easy to predict the score after the game. The purpose of the targeting of Civilians was to see if the German will to fight could be smashed. The commander of RAF Bomber Command said: "Those who say it will never work, well i say it has never been tried". It was a different time, we were fighting for something we havnt fought for since(thankfully). You must look at it in the context of the situation, and remember these 3 simple words. GERMANY STARTED IT... WWII was the closest we have come to Total War yet, and its also as close as we've got to Absolute War. That means, in WWII, the Gloves came off, and a lot of previously 'wrong' stuff, became a whole lot more acceptable.
