“February 1945, 2700 tons of bombs were dropped by 800 bombers of British Bomber Command, on Dresden, followed by 400 tons by the U.S. 8th Air Force, the following day. Estimates as high at 250,000, including refugees, mostly women, children, and the elderly were victims -not merely 39. Is anyone aghast by that loss of life?”
Dresden was bombed because the Russians wanted it destroyed, if it hadnt been bombed they would have spent a month to two doing it, causing likely just as much loss of life, they had very little regard for civilians or even their own POWs that were being used as slave Labour in Germany.
It was total war, the US and U.K. had “relatively” few casualties compared with Russia 25 million, Germany 4 million or any of the occupied countries
