I doubt it would have made any difference, I think Churchill and co would have used any excuse to retaliate.

We learn a lot about German propaganda of the 1st and 2nd world war but if you look at how devious British propaganda was you will soon see that they more than a match for the Germans.

The war still hurts Germans my age. There are still some who hate the English and Americans because of the "terror bombing" of German cities.
I can understand the dislike of the English after all Bomber Command was specifically targetting and killing civilians but the Americans seemed far more concentrated on military targets.
