These innocents weren’t responsible for the killing.

Besides, if you read your history you’ll find that the Brits bombed German cities first.

The senseless murder of the Jews was an act that was so shrouded in secrecy that the populace had no idea what was going on.

“Debate also continues on how much average Germans knew about the Holocaust. Recent historical work suggests that the majority of Germans knew that Jews were being indiscriminately killed and persecuted but they did not know about the Final Solution and the specifics of the death camps. Robert Gellately, a historian at Oxford University, conducted a widely respected survey of the German media before and during the war, concluding that there was “substantial consent and active participation of large numbers of ordinary Germans” in aspects of the Holocaust, and documenting that the sight of columns of slave laborers were common, and that the basics of the concentration camps, if not the extermination camps, were widely known.[8] The German scholar, Peter Longerich, in a study looking at what Germans knew about the mass murders concluded that: “General information concerning the mass murder of Jews was widespread in the German population.”[9]”

Ah, the "they did it first" defense. If you read your history a little further, I think the race to include the civilian workforce as a target in WWII was already set by the precedents of WWI, where the Germans first bombed civilian London using Hindenburg-type airships.

In total war, both sides are guilty of escalation. The Germans were first to use trench gas attacks, then the Brits used them. The Brits were first to use tanks, then the Germans adopted them. It ends in horror, of course....and the resulting tolerance for inflicting and receiving it.

Were you born stupid or do you work at it? Germany launched the war on Sept. 1, 1939 by attacking Poland and bombing it's capital, Warsaw.. England, an ally of Poland declared a state of war with Germany three days later. The Luftwaffe had been bombing British shipping in the English Channel all through the summer of 1940. Prior to that, during the ''Phony War'' of the fall and winter of 1939/40 The RAF was conducting raids on German cities by dropping propaganda leaflets. This prompted Luftwaffe chief Hermann Goering to thanking the RAF for ‘’supplying the Continent with it's ration of toilet paper''.

Yes, twas us nasty Brits.

After we had occupied the Rhineland, annexed Austria, subjugated the Czechs, and raped Poland. Then we turned west and raped Western Europe.

Hell, British murder squads called the Einsatzgruppen (funny name for a British unit, but hey...) murdered every Polish and Czech Jew, gypsy and subhuman they could get their hands on.

Oh, those nasty British.
