Was firebombing of Dresden by the RAF a war crime?

The battle of Britan shows us that if you aren't already going to win diverting air power to harassing and killing civilians just wastes needed resources.

I think it was a war crime. Any bombings of civilian structures are war crimes, doesn't matter who is commiting them and why. And don't get me started that Nazis started the war. It doesn't mean we have to use the same methods as them.

fighting has several meanings and the word fighting, after the bombing is wrong to contribute it to violence. It was the will to live, that can be attributed with the word fighting. Fighting for live, for hope, for yourself.
And why do you need to win or think about winning and loosing in such a huge war situation? The bombardement the way I understand this was to end the warmachine of Hitler, to end the war fighting. And any larg arguments and problems that need to be solved go out tearful. It just leads from one problem to the next.

Then Nazi Germany's atrocities weren't warcrimes either.....
This was definitely a warcrime. Though it was one that was never punished, because it was committed by the victors.

I knew someone who was on that raid. He flew bombers during WW2. He had a lot of stories about his experiences.
About Dresden ... he wasn't proud about what he did. It weighed on his conscience. But the regular airmen had no choice - they had to follow orders.
