How about the bombing of several Swiss cities
when AIMING at targets (supposedly) in Germany?


You've confused target identification/navigation with bombing accuracy.



So any target will do, right one or wrong one, as long as it is bombed
"accurately"?

"Precision" is an integral part of the equation, in that it implies that
the bomber crews knew where they were going and, having got there, knew
what they had to do.

That is NOT the situation with the bombing of Prague, Schaffhausen,
Zurich and Basel.
