It's understandable why DanBC was confused. You wrote:

The Axis, for example, always erred on the side of not hurting any civilians.

I have no idea where you got that idea. Hitler used collective punishment against civilian populations to deter resistance. Stuff like 'for every German soldier that dies, we kill 100 civilians'. The German's also bombed civilian centers like London and Belgrade.
