It was a legitimate strategic target. Strategic bombing was relatively new then. Apart from the Spanish civil war it had never been done before. The idea was to destroy civilian morale and an enemy's means to wage war. This wasn't some mindless slaughter

@ tranie - 22.09.19 - 01:09pm The bombing of dresden, could be considered a war crime. It was carried out in retrobution for the bombing of coventry. Even churchill said that dresden was a serious query against the conduct of Allied bombing. 25,000 non combatants, ie old ppl, woman and children lost thier lives, that day. But what if it helped to shorten the war? And why don't people talk about things like the London blitz as a war crime? |

What if it didn't do anything to shorten the war? We are all free to talk about the London blitz and Coventry as war crimes. Start a topic on it.

Seems that it's only Dresden what gets attacked as a war crime mainly I can't recall a topic about Coventry or the London Blitz. Pretty certain if their was one then I would have commented in it though. I'm not a fan of innocent people,civilians being slaughtered,be it England,Germany,Japan ...or anywhere else for that matter. |

@ 9362 - 22.09.19 - 10:33pm German citizens cannot be considered innocent if they willingly voted for the na.zi's The last official count of civilian deaths 're Dresden was taken in 2010,the figure was said to be 22,700 innocent civilians. Women and children many amongst them. Do you know that these people voted for the N.a.,zi's? |
