They didn’t have to move to East Germany. They were stuck behind the iron curtain after the war and managed to get out. And my father immigrated, served in the US Army, and raised a couple of military Officers.
And Dresden shouldn’t have been firebombed. It was unnecessary and done out of vengeance and didn’t shorten the war by one day.
The Allies weren’t perfect.
“The Allies werent perfect”
Unfortunately I feel the need to point out to you that neither were the Nazi’s and neither were those that helped them prosecute the war.
The US took your family in. Gave them an opportunity for a good life.
Far better one than the Nazis made possible for those they conquered.
I shed no tears for Dresden or any other damage inflicted by the allies on our enemies.
Shame on you for ignoring the post-war grace shed upon your family by America and claiming grievance for perceived wrongs at the hands of those fighting evil.
