Dresden was one of the only two cities where this magical phenomenon called “firestorm” occurred. It also happened to be under communist rule and none of these magical phenomena occurred when London, Coventry,and Manchester were bombed. It also never occurred when French or Italian cities were leveled, yet German cities experienced these kind of otherworldly phenomena. I wonder how anybody survived all of that heat, but I guess they all had some magical superpowers and they also show pictures of some doll like figures and pass them of as people who died in the raid. :)
Arthur Harris and the bomber command should have been charged with murder on at least 25,000 counts - 70 years later I wonder could they make the RAF payout compensation, or charge the estates of the dead bomber commanders?
One of the few sane comments on this sickening hell hole of a comment section. Thank you for saying something that is reasonable and not advocating for mass murder.
@Dan H no one is saying the germans are in the right. I would rather bombing of dresden happen and we win the war than it not happen and we lose. But dresden didn't need to be carpet bombed, and even though the germans were worse it doesn't excuse the absolutely barbaric tactics used here.
After the atrocities committed against the Polish people and of course the millions of other people who were murdered by the Nazis I have no sympathy watching this.
Nazis were criminals. True. But that did not give the Allies the Right to Obliterate a civilian city with little to none relevance for the course of the war

The bombed Dresden because of the infrastructure. Couldn't they just destroy streets and railways outside the city? Or just send a few P47's at low altitute over the countryside to the targets outside the city.
Did the germans use strategic bombardment over London? Killed many civilians there. Without remorse. Using V 1 rocket's over the skies of Britain to disrupt the lives of innocent people. Hitler sent an opened the invitation for war.
@@youwerealltooclever Agreed, that was the sad truth of Strategic Bombing, simply destroying the factories was not enough to stop an enemy's war machine... you had to cripple them by bombing killing their people.

Actually the British had already bombed cities in Germany for four months before the Blitz began.
