bombing a town in which there is almost no soldier is kind of silly and doesn' t help at all...

It was a German town and we were at war with Germany. WW2 Germans = NAZIs (I know it's somehow politically incorrect to say these days, lol). Germany got off lightly. It deserved to be completely annhilated, its cities and all its Hitler-loving populace. That it wasn't owes to the great mercy of its enemies, enemies the average German would never have shown such mercy to if the roles had been reversed.
