Interesting. 70th anniversary of the Dresden bombings (four raids between 13 and 15 February 1945), few news stories today.

It would take a couple of days to get past the censors.

Strategic bombing, particularly that of Dresden over the last two days, is the lead story in today’s news. Not exactly a news blackout.

One of the survivors of the bombing of Dresden was an American POW, Kurt Vonnegut, who had been taken prisoner with the 106th Division in the Schnee Eifel last month. His experience as a POW, and particularly in Dresden during the air raid, will inspire him to write “Slaughterhouse 5,” his best-known work.
