The cities in Germany were bombed though not b/c ppl believed in Hitler or his lies, but b/c Churchill and Bomber Harris abrogated previous understanding of the law of warfare to include fire-bombing civilians and historic cities. "Strategic bombing" was also implemented to advance the cause of a separate Air Force. Etc. The Air Forces had their OWN "mission" which was NOT to support the ground strategy. When there were no military targets left, the UK and US kept bombing anyway, because after all, they had to have a purpose to still exist . . .
