Harris got a sir title for his war effort and that alone, just like an American trooper who might have killed civilians in Iraq will still get praise for his war effort when returning home.

You say "it was war", but that is a fairly meaningless statement as it stands; as if that explains everything. How did this war come about? It came about chiefly through the long-term policy of some sections of the British elite to destroy Germany. Why was Britain committed by treaty
only to come to Poland's assitance if invaded by Germany? If the Soviets invaded - as they did - the British would not have come to their aid. Instead Chruchill and Roosevelt handed over half of Europe to Bolshevik tyrrany for forty years.
Why did the British change their position over Poland? The recovery of the Sudentenland differed in no essential way from the German invasion of Poland which was for the recovery of territories removed by Versailles. What were the British playing at?
Dresden is emblematic because the British and Americans fire-bombed just about every German city of any significance, often more than once. It is ridiculous to equate German bombings with allied raids - the allies pursued a deliberate policy of bombing civilians, the Germans did not, and this is reflected in the comparative casualities; huge on the German side, small on the British.
You speak about harming UK-German relations - but this is pure cant. How can there be meaningful relations when a state of war still technically exists, and Britain continues to profit from such gross calumnies like the Holocaust lie and maintains an army of occupation in Germany?
