To: Tell It Right

My post was to ridicule the hypocrisy of judging a kid, a kid at the time as if he was at the conference the Nazis decided what to do about the “*Jewish Question”
I would like to see the source of your information on civilian deaths, Allies vs Axis.
Considering Germany nor Japan didn’t have strategic bombers in action like the Allies which basically floated every major city in Germany and Japan and a few towns on the Normandy coast.
Germany certainly destroyed a few cities like Warsaw, Stalingrad(which was bombed by both sides) and a few other cities I can’t recall at this moment.

A reasonable request. I've read about it all my life. Sometimes the figure is 6 times more civilian deaths among Allies (caused by Axis) than the other way around. Some times 8 or 10 times as many. An example is from: https://www.britannica.com/event/World-War-II/Costs-of-the-war. If you copy/paste the rows of number per country into an Excel spreadsheet and sum the "civilian deaths due to war" column for each section (Axis section, then Allies section), the Allied civilians is 16 million while the Axis civilians is 2 million.

An argument could be made that the lack of precision bombing by the Axis powers is one reason why they killed more Allied civilians. Of course, we're talking about "precision bombing" as defined 80 years ago, not like we'd define it today.
