Bottom line, America broke the Geneva Conventions. Spin it any way you want, they murdered civilians who were not responsible for the attack. Did you know that if a Soldier surrenders ten seconds after shooting your best friend, you are still not supposed to shoot him? It's breaking the convention, your analogy was flawed, and doesn't offer a valid excuse. A more accurate analogy would be that a guy punched you in the face, you crippled him with a crowbar, beat him nearly to death, he gives up and then you go murder his kids. They were innocent. The civilians did nothing wrong, get that through your thick skull. And for your information, the German planes were far more advanced then anything the Americans had, most of the American provided vehicles proved obsolete against their German counterparts.
