  RAF Bomber Command - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
RAF Bomber Command was the organisation that controlled the RAF's bomber forces.
The most controversial RAF raid of the war took place in the very early morning of February 14, 1945 with the bombing of the city of Dresden resulting in a lethal firestorm which killed several tens of thousands of civilians.
While the idea that the area bombing by the RAF of German cities, particularly in the last few months of the war, represented a regrettable or excessive campaign is widely held, the case that it rises to the level of a war crime is less widely subscribed to.
