If we hadn't won that war, Hitler would have gone on exterminating 'implorables' as his madness progressed.

We just have to add that dozens of thousands British pilots lost their lives during their military service, shot down by Germans.

Precision bombing was tried at various times in WW2 but proved impractical with the technology of the day. Given that the target was Nazi Germany, anything that shortened the war even by a little was justified.

munchkin1300, He wasn't born barometer. He was given the title because he reached a high rank in the RAF and led on the bombing.
