Apologies for above, I thought you were referring to

him ordering a raid on Berlin to get the Luftwaffe to retaliate on London, thereby drawing their attention away from the RAF airfields, allowing the RAF to rebuild and have at least a small chance of winning the Battle of Britain.

2000 civilian deaths vs occupation. Horrible, but good decision.

There are also several cases of him allowing things to happen to hide the fact that we had cracked Enigma.
