How about British war crimes?

World War II
Crimes against prisoners, civilians, and civilian property
In violation of the
Hague Conventions,
line of communication troops conducted small scale
looting in the French towns of
Bayeux and
Caen, following
their liberation.
[24] On 21 April 1945, troops randomly selected and burned two cottages in
Seedorf, Germany, in reprisal against local civilians who had hidden German soldiers in their cellars.
[25]
On 23 May 1945, troops held
Prince Ferdinand of Holstein, prior to looting
Glücksburg castle in
Schleswig-Holstein. In addition to stealing jewelry, 38 coffins - in the castle's mausoleum - were desecrated.
[26]
An
MI19 prisoner of war facility, known as the "
London Cage", was utilized during and immediately after the war. This facility has been the subject of allegations of
torture.
[27] The
Bad Nenndorf interrogation centre, in occupied Germany, managed by the
Combined Services Detailed Interrogation Centre, was the subject of an official inquiry in 1947. It found that there was "mental and physical torture during the interrogations" and that "personal property of the prisoners were stolen".
[28]
Unrestricted submarine warfare
On 4 May 1940, in response to Germany's intensive
unrestricted submarine warfare, during the
Battle of the Atlantic and
its invasion of Denmark and Norway, the
Royal Navy conducted its own unrestricted submarine campaign. The
Admiralty announced that all vessels, in the
Skagerrak, were to be sunk on sight without warning. This was contrary to the terms of the
Second London Naval Treaty.
[29][30]
HMS Torbay incident
In July 1941, the submarine
HMS Torbay (under the command of Anthony Miers) was based in the
Mediterranean were it sank several German ships. On two occasions, once off the coast of
Alexandria,
Egypt, and the other off the coast of
Crete, the crew attacked and killed dozens of shipwrecked German sailors and troops. None of the shipwrecked survivors posed a major threat to
Torbay's crew. Miers made no attempt to hide his actions, and reported them in his official logs. He received a strongly worded reprimand from his superiors following the first incident. Meir's actions violated the Hague Convention of 1907, which banned the killing of shipwreck survivors under any circumstances.
[31][32]
Rapes
According to writer Sean Longden, although far from the scale of those committed by Soviet forces, rapes of local women were a common feature among British troops in Germany. Even elderly women were targeted. The
Royal Military Police tended to turn a blind eye towards abuse of German prisoners and civilians but rape was a major issue for them. Some officers reportedly treated this behaviour with leniency.
[33]
Many rapes were the result of alcohol or post-traumatic stress, but there were also instances of premeditated attacks. For example, the attempted gang-rape of two Germans at gunpoint in the village of Oyle, near
Nienburg. This attack ended with the death of one of the women, when a soldier (it is not clear if unintentionally or otherwise) discharged his gun, striking her in the neck. Reports also exist of "sexual assault and offences" committed against Belgian and Dutch children. A number of servicemen were convicted of these crimes, while fraternizing with Dutch and Belgian families during the winter of 1944-45.

Bombing of Dresden

Bombing of Dresden in World War II
Dresden after the bombing raid
The British, with other allied nations (mainly the U.S.) carried out air raids against enemy cities during
World War II, including the
bombing of the German city of Dresden, which killed more than 25,000 people. While "no agreement, treaty, convention or any other instrument governing the protection of the civilian population or civilian property" from aerial attack was adopted before the war,
[34] the
Hague Conventions did prohibit the bombardment of undefended towns. Allied forces inquiry concluded that an air attack on
Dresden was militarily justified on the grounds the city was defended.
[35]
This city was filled with refugees fleeing the oncoming Red Army.[36][37] When asked whether the bombing of Dresden was a war crime, British historian Frederick Taylor replied: "I really don't know. From a practical point of view, rules of war are something of a grey area. It was pretty borderline stuff in terms of the extent of the raid and the amount of force used."[38] Historian Donald Bloxham claims that "the bombing of Dresden on 13–14 February 1945 was a war crime". He further argues that there was a strong prima facie for trying Winston Churchill among others and that there is theoretical case that he could have been found guilty. "This should be a sobering thought. If, however it is also a startling one, this is probably less the result of widespread understanding of the nuance of international law and more because in the popular mind 'war criminal', like 'paedophile' or 'terrorist', has developed into a moral rather than a legal categorisation."
