For the Allied, civilians ships were as much a target as military. In fact, civilian belongings that could (even barely) be used by military were deemed legitimate targets for all involved countries. It is only AFTER the end of WW2 that was developped this guilt about civilian casualties. [/QB][/quote]

The firebombing of Dresden is a good example of that. The city was full of refugees, but it was firebombed almost out of existence. I don't think the city even had a strategic value. I think it was the policy to do anything that would destroy the morale of the German people.
