[PAR35]

In response to your comments let me say that the Germans began the tactic of intentionally bombing civilians over London in 1940.

Since I called Sherman Logan on an incorrect statement above, I'll have to call you for yours as well.

The German bombing of civilian areas was the result of a missed bomb run. The British started the tactic of intentionally targeting civilians, and the Germans reciprocated.

By today's standards, Harris was clearly guilty of war crimes.

Thank you for your comments.

Yes, I was aware that it was a navigational error that led to the unintentional bombing of civilians, to which I must sheepishly present my mea culpa on this matter.

Nevertheless, it was this occurrence that opened the door that ultimately led to what happened to Dresden.

I will not in any way accept any amelioration of the Nazis brutality, immorality,as a result nor IMHO reduce in the slightest bit the morally imperative duty in which the allies behaved regarding Dresden and other Nazi cities as a result of the war.

Thank you once again.
