Nobody really wonders *why* it happened (war-related industry in a heavily populated area, some people do or did wonder if it *should* have happened), but I feel like it should be pointed out that Dresden wasn’t firebombed because of the holocaust.
What I mean is the entirety of what the German people did is the reason their cities were bombed into dust and ashes. Todays generation of Germans still think Dresden was a ‘’war crime’’ and yet don’t want to look at what the Luftwaffe did to cities like Warsaw, Rotterdamn, London and Coventry.
