Partially correct. We the Allies bombed Dresden. It was an RAF mission led by Air Marshall Arthur ‘Bomber’ Harris and most sorties and tonnage was dropped by them on Dresden. Not saying we weren't there but blame America doesn't work on this one. I don't think you're doing that here but I see it so much in reference to this story. BTW, the RAF had bomber crews from all over the British Empire and some French, Polish, and Czech crews meaning there's plenty of blame to pass around.

I read one some site where the writer was trying to point a finger at America by saying that the firestorm was so severe from the Dresden bombing that people who were trying to escape were sucked back into the flames and that such a thing had never happened before in wartime. Problem with that was it did. Most notable was the burning of Richmond in 1865 during our Civil War.

Thanks for the info. I really didn’t have a lot of knowledge when I made my post. I read a book about an American woman who was in Dresden during the bombing, and who made it out alive. My recollection was that she either heard from others that it was US planes or actually saw US planes. She had not one scintilla of blame or animosity toward them, however. She perfectly understood that what they were doing was trying to win the war. She accepted their role as that of needing to destroy the city, and she saw her role as needing to get out alive.

I place no more blame than that woman did; anything that sped the end of the conflict—which itself, as long as it lasted, cost so many US lives—is a good thing. Lives lost in Dresden meant lives saved elsewhere, and likewise Hiroshima. We didn’t start the war but we needed to hasten its conclusion. Dresden played a part in the hastening, which again, is a good thing.
