This is funny, since my grandfather was one of the very few German pilots in Dresden-Klotzsche who were able to start with a full-tanked fighter plane to defend the town. There would have been enough planes, but there was a severe lack of gasoline and pilots. Experienced pilots like my grandfather (he served in the Luftwaffe since 1934) had to train little boys that were 17 years old within 10 days or less to fly a full-scale Messerschmitt or Focke-Wulf.
The bombing must have been horrible, since the town was filled up with refugees from Silesia that was partly overrolled by the Soviets at that time. The Wehrmacht was in complete breakup and only Hitler and some other idiots tried to defend to the last.
I had many interesting discussions with this old man (he is 88 years old now) if the Brits had reason to bomb Dresden or not. One thing is for sure - it was simply a payback without any millitary need.
I fail to understand what is funny about it.
