Heavy/strategic bombers were explicitly sent on missions to bomb cities and kill civilians. Shooting the parachutes is fair game.

Shooting parachuting pilots or bomber crews above your own territory is retarded, they are more valuable as prisoners. Above hostile territory it's absolutely warranted and based.

Warsaw bombing was aiming at killing as many civilians as possible to force city to surrender, after Germans botched the initial push into the city
>>
>>64472162
Wrong. Bomb cities, yes. Kill civilians, no. Collateral damage is inevitable, but every dead civilian was one the German government didn't have to spend time housing and feeding once his home and workplace burned down.

Wasn't there a gentleman's agreement between the germans and bongs to not use chemical weapons because the Germans knew full well that the British would gas them without hesitation of they ever tried anything funny
>>
maybe we could just acknowledge that german terror bombing was wrong and awful and didn't work and that allied dehousing (and also terror bombing) also was wrong and also didn't meaningfully contribute to them winning the war instead of circlejerkung for eight fucking decades

yes, civilian casulties happen, yes, sometimes they're even a likely necessity of striking strategic, important targets, but striking civilians is just cruelty.
>>
>>64472854
The problem is with WW2 precision, you're always bombing civilians along with your strategic targets unless you're doing tac bombing on battlefield itself.
>>
>>64472854
>and also didn't meaningfully contribute to them winning the war

Yeah, making millions of people homeless, smashing industrial and logistics centers and forcing the Germans to spend resources on defending the entire country 24/7 and cleaning it all up constantly surely had no effect on the war

Nothing quite so pleasant. Hitler expressly forbade the Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe, and SS from using any kind of chemical or biological weapon - partially because doing so is a very clear invitation for the enemy to return the favour, and partly because he'd been on the receiving end of gas attacks as a young soldier in WWI and was still traumatised by the experience.

Britain was planning to hit any German landing on the British mainland with basically ALL the chemical weapons immediately - because they believed that was their best bet to prevent the Germans from capturing the UK (most people really don't understand just how utterly fucked the UK's military situation was immediately after the Dunkirk Evacuation) and because in that situation the enemies potential reactions were just a problem for another day.

They were also planning to conduct mass anthrax bombing of German agricultural regions with the goal of turning Germany (and probably most of Central Europe) into a permanently biologically 'hot' black-site that was completely uninhabitable for humans, as a final 'fuck you' in the event that Germany actually managed to beat them. Fortunately for the Germans they were never doing well enough to justify that mission going ahead.

>26 April 1937 the Basque town of Guernica in northern Spain was aerially bombed during the Spanish Civil War.
>The devastating aerial attack was carried out by Nazi German Luftwaffe's Condor Legion and the Italian Aviazione Legionaria at the bequest of Franco to demoralize the Basque people and destroy a key communications center.
>The town was devastated, with about 70% of buildings destroyed and hundreds of civilians were killed.
>The event is considered a precursor to the large-scale terror bombing of civilians seen in World War II.

qrd? Not a nazi apologist (whole family alive at the time fought them one way or another) but I always viewed dresden as a pretty horrific act of terror bombing
>>
>>64473273
NTA, there's two major factors of Dresden that the people who like to talk about Dresden tend to leave out:
>Germany forgor to put AA in Dresden, so a bomb load that had been calculated with the expectation that it was going to be somewhat disrupted by flak over the target ALL went right in
>Goebbels engaged in some massive numbers inflation every time he brought Dresden up. 15k bodies were pulled out of the wreckage, which was doubled to 30k as was standard procedure for casualty counting with firestorms. By the time Goebbels finished, he'd inflated that number to well over 200k, and people taking that number at face value formed the original seed of Dresden being the one that wheraboos cry about so much in particular.
>>
>>64473300
this sounds like a reasonable argument and I would like to believe you although I'll go and do some confirming of this on my own end. Could you elaborate on how this dresden myth became a fixation of COMMUNIST propaganda though? did the soviets also participate in spreading this myth?
>>

Largely the same way that the Allies ended up adopting German myths about the Soviets: integrating their half of Germany into their structure and setting up for the Round 2 That Never Was. Dresden was in the Soviet occupation zone, they had lots of traumatized locals to interview, and it made a convenient BUT WHADDABOUT narrative to load into the firehose.
>>
>>64473336
>>64473173
>>
>>64473345 (Me)
Addendum: they also conveniently left out the part where they had asked for the Brits to hit Dresden in order to complicate German logistics in the East.

>>64473300

The casualty numbers from the raid on Dresden alleged by people like David Irving (200-500,000),which itself is sourced from Nazi propaganda, are basically mathematically impossible.

I say impossible (as opposed to unlikely) because less than a month after Dresden, the United States Army Air Force conducted Operation Meetinghouse against Tokyo. It was a raid that was

>conducted against a target that had a dramatically larger population (3.5 million vs 642,000)
>conducted against a target that was FAR more densely populated (Tokyo being one of the most densely populated cities on the planet)
>conducted against a target with housing that was largely built from paper and wooden structure (Dresden by comparison was almost entirely built from stone and concrete buildings)
>destroyed its target far more throughly than Dresden

and it still resulted in *only* around 100,000 dead (making it more lethal than the attacks on Hiroshima or Nagasaki individually, a number that Japanese and American sources mutually agree on).

In short, the raid on Dresden could not have possibly killed half-a-million people
>>
>>64473345
>>64473354
that makes sense to me desu, the soviets were looking for every possible excuse to make the west look bad and dresden was yet another convenient myth for them to push. It also tracks given that the soviets (and today the russians) give absolutely zero fucks about supporting right wing extremism so long as it's subsersive to the west (and vice versa with the west supporting fascist groups against the soviets)
>>64473349
look man I get that I'm asking you to take my word for it but if you operate on this basis that even if someone says they're a nazi they must be one because you believe it so you're operating on a pseudoscientific basis that can't be disproven. what could I possibly say to make you believe I wasn't a nazi lmao

you're almost certainly just baiting now.
>>
>>64472162
So long as you are fine with that happening to your own crews as well. Bombing cities was one of the war crimes every side in the war decided to partake in, and the only reason some did it less effectively than others was because they lacked the aircraft suitable.
>>
>>64472173
The fighters were there to keep the bombers safe while they did their work. Anybody who goes down during an air raid is fair game.
>>
>>64473500
Objectively wrong. Their mission statement was expressly to use the bombers as bait in order to kill every German in the sky.
>>
>>64472433
Bomber Command was something like 60% Canadian and you know those little fuckers just love to act up
>>
>>64473436
Yes.
