I can name 3 large scale Allied atrocities:
1) The destruction of the church city of Dresden. Had very little military value and was only done to terrorize the German people. Hundreds of thousands of civilians died there.
2)The fire bombing of Tokyo. Again,another bombing raid targeted primarily on civilians.
3)Nagasaki. While Hiroshima MIGHT have been necessary,Nagasaki was not. It was done more to send a message to the USSR than anything else.
NO ONE'S hands were clean in WW2, All sides commited atrocities,both large and small.
