@ant7936 The fact is that in an industrial war the line between civilians and the military is blurred. Why, for example, should the soldier who loads a shell into an artillery piece be considered a legitimate target, but the civilian who manufactures the shell or, indeed, produces the food which feeds the soldier, be considered untouchable?
I have many misgivings about Arthur Harris, and in particular his support for Douhet's theories and his refusal to release four engined heavy bombers to Coastal Command to make possible the closing of the Atlantic Air Gap a year before it actually was, but I agree entirely with his statement that 'I do not personally regard the whole of the remaining cities of Germany as worth the bones of one British Grenadier.'
My father was, by the way, one of those Grenadiers.

@TheAsa1972 The point is that not all 'legends' are good ones. Like the Time 'Person of the Year.'
To clarify what Kennedy thought of hitler, you really should look at what he actually said:-
Nearly two decades after 1945, Kennedy would address crowds in West Berlin as US president.
He gave Ms Henderson, his Research Assistant when he was a Senator, his diary in order to inform her of his views on foreign policy and national security, she said. She subsequently auctioned it.
In a description of the auction, she wrote: "When JFK said that Hitler 'had in him the stuff of which legends are made', he was speaking to the mystery surrounding him, not the evil he demonstrated to the world."
"Nowhere in this diary, or in any of his writings, is there any indication of sympathy for Nazi crimes or cause," she continued.
The diary also contains JFK's thoughts about the British election and Winston Churchill, who Ms Henderson called his "idol".
