This was a bombing designed specifically to make sure everything manufactured in Dresden wasn’t manufactured anymore and to ensure that Transportation of goods through the transportation hubs in Dresden didn’t move through there for as long as possible and because Germany had been bombing the living crap out of allied cities for so long nobody but enemy sympathizers cared about any German lives lost by that point.
But do go on with your little rant.
Not ranting. Telling the truth. The bombing was in multiple waves, and those waves were designed to kill civilians. The biggest give away being following incendiary runs with high explosive runs an hour later to kill the people trying to put out the fires. That is targeting non-combatants.
The objective of war is to kill people and break their things.
