“I do not personally regard the whole of the remaining cities of Germany as worth the bones of one British Grenadier. It therefore seems to me that there is one and only one valid argument on which a case for giving up strategic bombing could be based, namely that it has already completed its task and that nothing now remains for the Armies to do except to occupy Germany against unorganized resistance.”

His actions, while effective in terms of strategic bombing, were also criticized for targeting civilian populations, leading to debates about the ethics of warfare and military operations. more
