Anyone who says Hitler wouldn’t bomb civilian targets is an idiot or a liar.
At best Hitler was known for using a strangely muslim tactic of going easy on nations that allowed him in with little resistance. Once the nazis were in they could “peacefully” raid the riches of those nations, put jews on trains and eliminate distinct national cultures. Hitler knew that Britain was not going to go easily so Britain got the stick rather than the carrot.
How about both?
