Strange---the Germanic thought process in those distant days! They never considered themselves 'terror flyers'---yet, at the risk of sounding simplistic, they started it! And all the worry about bombing morality (i'm thinking area bombing here) seems to forget that the V.1 and V.2 were terror flying weapons par excellence
