War really is hell for some. But it needs to be remembered that the Dresden attack was retaliation for the Nazi’s brutal attack on Coventry on the 14 Nov 1940. The Nazi’s had no regrets about the raid and deaths caused in Coventry. Only free peoples of nations like the UK and USA have feelings of guilt, remorse, and self-loathing for events that take place in time of unfettered war. Just my $.02
The raid on Coventry had been avenged long before Dresden, my FRiend; the firebombing of Hamburg alone in July of 1943 killed more people than the British had lost during the entire Blitz.
