It was a war crime though? And it wasn't even effective at shortening the war; the brits were able to field more fighters while the nazis were occupied with London instead of airfields and factories, bombing canals or oil depots in europe could immediately stop deliveries for weeks, while blowing up some factory worker his home doesn't affect production as the factory just hires someone else.
I'd agree if the plaque said "The nazis were just defending themselves from the big bad (((allies)))" instead of something to the effect of "This is blowback"
