Dude, 2banana, the bombing of Dreseden was like, totally, just two weeks after the Battle of the Bulge in which the Nazis almost succeeded in punching through the Allied line.

And Dresden, dude, was like, totally the place through which to route troops to try to hold back the Soviets for a second shot.

“About 5,000 neo-Nazis descended on Dresden . . .”

New Nazis?! I’m thinking, wow, those guys are fags too—we
should like totally bomb those Nazi dudes again, fer sure!

Well, wideawake, let us see.

The Battle of the Bulge was essentially over by January 1st, 1945 (ie all German offensive operations had failed and were over)
The bombing of Dresden was essentially over by the end of February, 1945.

That is about 9 weeks.

In those 9 weeks:

The Soviets capture Warsaw.
The Soviets capture most of Eastern Europe (up to the Danube River)
Over 1 million Soviet troops approach the Polish/German border
The US Army (with Allies) captures all of the low countries and enters Germany.

Yep - it sure makes sense to fire-bomb a military insignificant German city packed with refugees...like those crazy Germans were on a fricken roll.
