Many felt rightly that the Germans deserved to reap the whirlwind they had sown. Yet Bomber Command's policy of targeting residential areas clearly contradicted Chamberlain's pre-war statement in parliament that it was "against international law to bomb civilians as such and to make deliberate attacks on the civilian population".
