Well, Yes and No....heh.

As to who started the war and who started the terror bombings the man is right.

To kill about ten times more German civilians than in the BoB bombings ( I think ), well, that is a harder question.He wanted to crush the Germans and as decided by the trio ( Churchill, FDR, Stalin ) Germany would become totally annihilated by total war.They had plans for taking Germans to elsewhere and turning the country into huge fields so Germany would never again start a war.
But in this sense I think Churchill was guilty of killing civilians unnecessary. Eye to eye turned to my one eye your ten eyes...

Then again he was one of the key figures in putting the nazi government down so ...like said itīs not so simple as there are two sides to the coin.
