To make it clear: the HE bombs were delayed-fuse. The idea was to set the building alight with the incendiaries, and then when the HE bomb went off, it would fling burning embers and spread the fire.
Well, at least the allies acknowledged the fact by not adding the German bombings to the Nuremberg indictments. And again, I'm not sure how they handled it with Japan where they had tribunals too.
