Can you elaborate on blitz not being considered a war crime? I assume we’re talking about blitzkrieg, which to my knowledge is just a strategy, and I don’t really see why would it be considered unethical.
The Blitz is the name for the terror bombing campaign carried out by the Luftwaffe against cities in the UK. The name comes from blitzkrieg, but has little or nothing to do with the combined-arms tactic.

8 month long bombing of London and other cities.
Today it would be a war crime as collective punishment, as an indiscriminate attack, and for deliberate targeting of civilians.
