Over 700,000 phosphorus bombs were dropped on 1.2 million defenseless inhabitants of German city Dresden under Britain’s then Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s order, which not only reduced one of the greatest centers of northern Europe to flaming ruins, but also led to one of the worst war crimes of the Second World War.
Read and weep here:
I'm very sorry Theding, This atrocity will be avenged. Deutschland!
Somewhere I read that the main reason for bombing Dresden was to destroy Martin Luthers original 95 thesis that started the protestant movement. It was replaced by a forgery after the war. Make sense to me, because Dresden wasn't a military target, the city was filled with woman and children. Why did they have to do a true holocaust on those people?
ReplyDeleteThe real number of the victims is probably 350 000 - 500 000. Maybe higher than 500 000. I believe it is about 400 000.
ReplyDeleteF. E. This dvd has told the real scale of the crime:

The famous numbers of the regime were about 250 000. But they had not finished yet 31.5.1945. And the numbers were the numbers of the bodies or their parts of the different persons. But this is just 50-70 % of all victims. The firestorm burned many people so that nothing was left.
