No Mr. Goebels, Rotterdam wasn’t an attack on a train station. The entire wooden medieval city center was attacked along with wide areas of residential neighborhoods.
The Krauts were not trying to stop the Dutch train network from helping the war effort. They were demanding a Dutch surrender and the bombing of the cite was an “or else”. The Germans weren’t after a military target.
Same for Warsaw, the Germans went after a wide area of the city center with HE and firebombs with the goal of spreading panic. They weren’t going after a military target.
And as for Germans deciding they can’t terrorize a population, they kept trying to do so until the Luftwaffe and SS were crushed. Hell, they even named the V-1 and V-2 “vengeance” weapons. They launched them into a circle 7 miles wide if they were on their game. They did this until the month before the war ended. They were working on America bomber and rocket with the goal of hitting New York. The Germans obviously believed in terror bombing until they were blasted into being nice people.

Germans and Japanese both are very nice now, and it took Dresden attacks to do it.

You don’t know jack about the attack and you toss insults aroubd to make up for the tiny size of your hands. The attack happened on a cloudy/hazy day where the level bombers had a very hard time correctly identify thier targets. Bombers were off target, something that happen about a million times during WW2.

Historians disagree with you.

Notice what Hitler called those weapons? Vengeance 1 and Vengeance 2. Vengeance for what? The destruction of German cities. Regular miltary leaders through the the whole program was a waste of resources. And frankly should it surprise you that a mass murder like Hitler though he could terrorize his war to victory? Terror bombing advocates like you have a lot in common with a mad men like Hitler.

>Germans and Japanese both are very nice now, and it took Dresden attacks to do it.

I’m sure Hitler would say the same about the Jews and the Holocaust.
