“Bomber’’ Harris. Good show RAF, giving it back to Jerry. 55,000 men lost is a lot. That’s fifteen thousand more than the Luftwaffe killed during the Blitz. During the air war over Europe the USAAF lost 77,000.

Between February 13th and February 14th 1945, between 35,000 and 135,000 people were killed by Allied bombing in Dresden. I guess Harris got his revenge for the Blitz many times over. Did he hate the Germans so much? And they say it was a show of force to impress Stalin so he would keep his end of the Yalta agreement? I visited Dresden, its a beautiful city around where they flattened the church. They rebuilt much of it to look like it was before the bombing. I hope none of our cities ever experience that kind of bombing.
