Area bombing was supposed to make the Germans stop fighting. It didn't do that.

The invasion and conquest of Germany by the Allied and Red Armies did accomplish it.

Area bombing helped to some extent, but its contribution to Nazi defeat was not even close to being in proportion to its cost in dollars and in flight crew and civilian deaths.

Yeah it was inhumane for Spaatz and Lemay to use area bombing instead of precision guided laser munitions that were in common use during the second world war.
