I just recently viewed this. That’s where I came up with the figures. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cgRwDkP6vk
I know.. That is why I am so torn.
what does the good prof think of Tuskegee airman
I've got a grip. The only way to defeat the mooselimb terrorists is eradication. With islam, there are no civilians.
You'll excuse me if I don't shed any tears for the "poor Germans".
Thank the Almighty that your kind of foolish thinking didn't guide our leaders in that war of extermination.
Pray tell, what do you think should have been done to win that war, Armchair Charlie? And how many more dead people (including civilians) would there have been with your tactics?
And judging by the election, they couldn't wait to get rid of Churchill after the war was over.
Oh, so you think the Nazis would have had a “Marshall Plan”, or would have sacrificed 31 of their own during the Berlin Airlift, like we did?
One of the saddest things that has happened is the educated, knowledgeable, middle class Blacks, decided to enter academe and, some of them, let loose with all of their oppressions, both real and imagined, on the captive audience known as students.
Almost every time a report appears that a professor is brutalizing white people, it comes from a Black, male or female.
I find that sad, if they could be optimistic about their lives, they, and we, would all be better off and a lot happier.
None of your comments have any relevance to my point. You discredit yourselves.
“I do think Dresden was not the best Target. It was untouched and we did it to appease Stalin. FLAME AWAY!” [crazydad, post 46]
Flames not required. You are completely mistaken about Dresden as a target complex - there are no facts supporting your argument. “Appeasement” of the USSR was secondary.
First, the city was a rail transportation hub: troops, supplies, vehicles, weapons had to go through there, either from the production centers in the west, to deploy on the Eastern Front; or Wehrmacht forces redeploying from the Eastern Front to the West had to go through in the other direction. 30 seconds’ perusal of a map should dispel any confusion here.
There was also real fear on the part of the Western Allies that German forces would retreat into Bavaria (the Nazi “homeland”) and the Alps, make common cause with the gauleiters, SS, and other fanatic Nazis, and prosecute irregular warfare from mountain redoubts for the foreseeable future. Taking out Dresden as a transportation nexus cut off that avenue of retreat.
Dresden did not have much heavy industry, but it was home to several vital light industries and manufacturers of small precision parts. Optics firms were numerous. Small parts and optics were just as important to the Third Reich’s war making capacity as tank chassis and artillery tubes. Think radios, weapon sights, aircraft instruments.
The Third Reich’s Ministry of Propaganda tried to make a big deal out of the Allied air attacks of February 1945. Taking Herr Doktor Goebbels’ hot air at face value is still a foolish move, 74 years after the fact.
Well it’s totally bogus. India didn’t lose more people(casualties) in WWII than the UK. LOL.

Right. UK 383K casualties, India 87K casualties.
