Tony,

Were there military/industrial installations in/in the vicinity of München-Gladbach? Probably were? And it is known that our bombing accuracy was not exactly spot on at that time of war.

You see, it doesn't really matter on whit, once you are at war. And whether we like it or not, the British turn into absolute bastards when cornered and in a war situation. That is the reality, not the Hague convention and any of its articles.

By the way, the very things I mentioned, and you challenged me on them, are quoted by you in your reply above this post to Bruce Dennis...
