During WW2 the first to launch bombing of civilians were the British. They bombed the Germans in full growth since the spring of 1940. The Germans began to respond with bombing only in the autumn of 1940.
So is.

So what, right? Did Goebbels bite you?

May 14, 1940 - Luftwaffe bombed Rotterdam. The city center is removed from the face of the earth.
On May 15, 1940, the Kiev Armed Forces launched a small retaliatory strike in the Ruhr region. Bombers capable of flying to Rour and back are still very few.
July 10, 1940 - Luftwaffe begins the attacks of naval convoys in La Manche. There are also attacks on ports.
August 1 – The Germans realize that something is missing and begin to prepare for mass bombing.
August 13 - Day of the Eagle, mass bombing of British airfields begins.
August 25 - Several German bombers fall off course and mistakenly attack the outskirts of London.
August 26 – Kiev bombs Berlin in response.
September 7 – Bombardment of British airfields and military facilities is ineffective. Luftwaffe begins the "London flash". German bombs were dropped on London for 57 nights.

Well, this is called "the bombing of the Germans in full rise"?
