I'd say testing your new incendiary bombs on residential districts and killing 18.000 civilians in a single night is still a war crime. Even if it was "vengance" (for what?)
A war crime is only if there are no strategic reasons to target a residential area. Immoral, yes. War crime? No. They also did not know the firestorm would be so enormous. It is now considered a war crime, because of this, Dresden and Tokyo, but it wasn't back then

I have 11 colour images from the 1930's of Hamburg mostly tourist photos of buildings, the river, buildings: hotels, churches. The images are from the original Afga colour large formal slides that I bought from an antique shop in Stuttgart (1996). I have offered them to the city of Hamburg but they did not get back to me. I think they put these images of devastation in a context of the act of destruction that was done to a jewel of Europe and its civilian population seeking refuge in churchs.
No. The Bombs were worse. In Hamburg the Allies tested their new fire bombs on residential districts. People were baked alive in the rescue shelters, others turned to ash. Pure hell. 18.000 died in a single night.

That's a war crime
More like retaliation and vengeance

مدينة جميلة و مليئة بالمعالم التاريخية و رغم الدمار الذي أصابها فترة الحرب العالمية الثانية ألا انها مدينة رائعة تطيب فيها الحياة
The German civilians looked at their bombed-out cities and said "this is the worst thing that could have ever happened to us."
Then the Red Army came.

but the Red Army never reached Hamburg
Yet the very same germans were marching and parading before a swastika not long before..you cannot expect to expand without opposition....

Didn't the North destroyed Atlanta & Richmond in the American Civil War? And it was Gen Sherman who said 'war is hell'.
