Yup. If every city and town in Germany had been turned into a Dresden as early as 1943 the war might have ended sooner.

“Germany wanted Total War and the Allies obliged.”

No one on either side asked the civilians’ opinion.

Yes indeed they did. Wonder if there is any memorial for the city of Coventry, UK (a UK city which also had little to no military value as a target) which was allowed to be bombed without putting up a massive aircraft/fighter defense by Churchill (the British having broken german codes knew in advance) rather than reveal to the germans that the UK was reading all of their communications (Bletchley Park).

Truly wonder if there is a Coventry memorial day. Hard times of war— and incredibly difficult decision for Churchill.

Note that WWII caused the Germans and Japanese to become Pacifist and Kumbaya singers. They had to go through the obliteration phase in order to calm down and stop making war on the world. After losing badly, they become ambassadors for peace. This is what will have to happen to Islam as well. Total fanaticism must be dealt a death blow, then they too will hug everybody and call for world peace.
