Britain and the US carpetbombed French cities where it was believe German troops were seeking shelter. Interesting, Hawkmoon. I was just reading about our use of Bombers for D-Day, in Cohen's book. The Generals wanted to carpet bomb French Marshalling yards to stop all trains, but Churchill, et al, were concerned about French casualties. They finally came up with an acceptable number, and Bomber Command had to send in a daily tally on French Civilian Casualties. It was much lower than the Generals wanted. I have not read of any carpetbombing of French Cities in the manner you cite. We took out the German ones, thats for sure!
