RE Dresden - trickier with an actual, declared war. We’re also still waiting for some Germans to get put in jail. Not sure WWII is a productive example here haha, but I take your point

That also included children and babies. Winston Churchill personally ordered it. Textbook warcrime. But that only matters if there's someone to prosecute you, and they weren't going to send themselves to jail
