Well written and considered. Thanks. They have even resorted to much historical revisionism (lies about history from fascist perspectives). Here's an
comment of mine in an effort to oppose such revisionism.
The many exaggerated lies written about Dresden having been intended as a civilian target are nothing more than neo-Nazi propaganda. Incendiaries are needed to destroy military equipment and production machines for making military equipment. I've trained to destroy such equipment with smaller incendiaries. And we didn't have smart bombs during WWII.

BOMBINGS OF DRESDEN

[Here's an excerpt:]
24. As related in paragraphs 5-11 above, Dresden became a military target as (1), and of overriding importance, a primary communications center in the Berlin-Leipzig-Dresden railway complex; (2) as an important industrial and manufacturing center directly associated with the production of aircraft components and other military items, including poison gas, anti-aircraft and field guns, and small guns; and (3) as an area containing specific military installations.
Regardless of whether Dresden was a military target or a civilian target, lots of innocents were killed, as happened at Hiroshima.
War kills innocents.
