What's your favourite WWII operation? Mine is Operation Mincemeat

>Worst thing Allies did is bombing Dresden
Not even a Wehraboo but that is an incredibly narrow conclusion.

Total fuckup - anzio
Toatally knew they were going to get caught but did it anyway - rimau

>British POW torture camps
>Rape and ravaging of the local population
>shipping the surrendering Germans off to their deaths by cattle car back to the Soviets
>Hamburg
>Nukes
>executing people running the camps on spot
I'm sure there's plenty more.

Someone red pill this fag

Nanking alone justifies the nuclear bombing of Japan

Chinese shits deserved it.

How can you justify the ending of conventional warfare and the struggle between nations, by releasing the world's most powerful weapons, because of
>muh nanking

>British POW torture camps
citation neede
>Rape and ravaging of the local population
isolated incidents which is inevitable and the guilty were clearly charged with war crimes (most of the time anyway)
>shipping the surrendering Germans off to their deaths by cattle car back to the Soviets
I agree, that wasn't the Allies finest moment
>Hamburg
part of a strategic bombing operation
>Nukes
it was either that or an invasion of Japan, which would cause more deaths for both the Japanese population and Allied soldiers
>executing people running the camps on spot
clearly deserved

back on topic please.

>WW2 was a fight of good against evil.
This is a history board

>clearly deserved
I hope you're never in a position of power.

>isolated incidents most and all were tried
Most were never tried, on either the Soviets or the Americans side. Maybe reprimanded by officers.
>invasion of Japan
Debateable.
>clearly deserved
Americans are hypocrites.
Guilty until proven innocent now?

To return to the topic, British intelligence (especially the unit in charge of "black psyops" in enemy territory) did some epic shit.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sefton_Delmer

"Delmer's first, most notable success was a shortwave station: Gustav Siegfried Eins (Gustav Siegfried One), G3 in the Research units. It was “run” by the character "Der Chef”, an unrepentant Nazi, who disparaged both Winston Churchill ("that flatfooted son of a drunken Jew") and the "Parteikommune", the "Party Communists" who betrayed the Nazi revolution."

The raid on St. Naziaire.

The day the Brits gave a German port the Michael Bay treatment by packing a warship full of explosives and then using it to crash the port...

...with no survivors.

...

>both world wars were just an excuse
>some old dues just wanted to play with scale models

>en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Cage
>>The United Kingdom systematically interrogated all of its prisoners of war

WRONG. Not denying the camp existed, but this is false.

Cry more, eternal anglo.

Solomon Islands Campaign

Kek

he's pretty much right desu

thinking every part of history MUST be amoral, and that every single side is about as bad as the other is equally as silly as believing that there's one particular right side all of the time

there's no historical law that stops people doing fucked up shit, and no law that stops that from mostly happening on one side of a conflict

Overlord, because fuck you.

>Japanese committed massacres and brutally treated POWs and occupied countries.

To be fair the Japs committed war crimes against "allied" citizens of Germany. Mostly German missionaries in the DEI.

>Dresden had not been specially marked for immolation. There was nothing exceptional about the raid except the unexpected magnitude of the devastation. Harris planned this mission exactly as he had planned the thirty-eight other city-busting raids his force carried out in the first three months of 1945. Dresden was a routine incendiary mission that happened to go exactly right. “From our point of view it was only a fluke,” recalled the eminent physicist Freeman Dyson, who was a civilian scientist working at Bomber Command headquarters. “We had attacked Berlin sixteen times [previously] and with the same kind of force that attacked Dresden once. There was nothing special about Dresden except that for once everything worked as we intended. Dresden was like a hole in one in a game of golf.” Casualties were appallingly high, but not disproportionate to RAF fire raids on at least five other German cities: Pforzheim, Darmstadt, Kassel, Hamburg, and Wuppertal.

>It was also a routine raid for the Eighth Air Force, “business as usual.” Indeed, no combined air operation better illustrates the differences between the fast-converging, though still distinct, late-war bombing policies of the RAF and the Eighth Air Force. Two powerful air forces were sent to the same city within hours of each other and with the same strategic objective: the interdiction of the Berlin–Leipzig–Dresden rail corridor. But the two commanders, Doolittle and Harris, employed different bombing techniques. One air force tried to kill an urban rail system, the other tried to erase an entire city. While the fire raid dealt the city’s industries a staggering blow, the economic disruption would have been far greater had Bomber Command targeted the suburban areas where most manufacturing might was concentrated.

>The American raid and its follow-up were equally disappointing to Air Force strategic planners. Rail service was partially restored in Dresden within two weeks, and military trains soon began passing through the city’s marshaling yards. Dresden was finally eliminated as a rail nexus in the same way that German transportation centers in the Ruhr had been eliminated: by repeated attacks, in this case, two well-executed missions on March 2 and April 17. The last blow was decisive. Nearly 600 Eighth Air Force bombers pulverized the city’s marshaling yards, severing the last surviving north–south link in the Reich.

This, Operation Chariot was a 10/10 op but British Commandos had a habit of pulling off all kinds of crazy ass raids.

>its history is still in the clean cut good vs. evil narrative

it's still clean cut the axis were evil but no one these days say that the allies were completely good (especially US and Russia)

Ooperation Bagration. Can't beat wiping out the entirety of Army Group Center in less than a month.
