Hmm! During World War Two, many people were killed through areal and artillary bombardments against cities and towns, including many civilians, and vast numbers were injured, and these barrages were caried out on the part of various armies involved. the Soviet air-force tended to avoid bombing towns and cities, concentrating missions on military forces, following a specific policy of avoiding civilian casualties. During the First World Waw, when the first areal bombs were dropped from German zepelins, in Britain this was considered a crime! Also, civilians were not subject to areal or artillary bombardments in the trench wars, as cities were considered non-battle grounds. The idea of bombarding towns and cities in the Second World War was not at all taken for granted in the First!
Barry is right, that the Geneva Convention is in conflict with areal bombardment of civilians centres as a form of military strategy.
