I’m assuming this thread will attract its share of history buffs. Can anyone recommend a good (i.e. relatively neutral) book covering the Blitz, and one about Dresden? I’m slowly trying to fill the inevitable gaps of a public school edumacation. I grew up hearing stories about my Nan’s house losing its roof to the German bombs, and always wanted to learn more about how people got through those times.

The BBC has a website called "The Peoples War". It tells of the era through the eyes of everyday people via the stories they submitted.
Look for a section marked "The Blitz".
