Germany always has had a vested interest in bringing up their own suffering during WW2, and the bombing of Dresden
is as good an example as any. The only way they can mitigate the horrors of what they did is to try to create
some kind of equivalence in what was done to THEM. It is
sort of a hydraulic relieving of the awful pressure of collective guilt at having perpetrated something that they will NEVER be able to live down historically. The behavior of the Germans under Hitler will continue to be emblematic of just how unprecedentedly awful the behavior of the so-called cultured and civilized can be.

As Ralph Peters says, "the Germans burnt the soul of their culture in the ovens of Auschwitz"

And what you will not hear the left media tell you is Hitler and his ilk were pagans and artists and into the occult.

Yes we bombed Dresden, but we also saved the Germans during the Berlin Airlift (at a cost of 31 US servicemen), and we built up Germany with the Marshall Plan.
