The planned memorial triggered astonishment in Dresden and was judged critically by us in diplomatic terms, she told SPIEGEL ONLINE.

I am pleased that this exchange of views led to the monument now featuring an inscription commemorating the victims of the bombing war. The objections many people in Germany had to such a memorial have been taken seriously and I welcome this very much. It's a further gesture of reconciliation between Britain and Germany.

Unfricken believable. British actions were a reaction to the bombing of London. Now the bombers of London dictate the memorial's aspects.

Who won that war anyway?

This memorial was supposed to honor the lost crews of the bombers. Now it places those lost crews on a part with the Nazis.

This makes me furious, and I'm not even British.

The day is coming, when the only things they’ll teach kids about WWII in school will be the Internment of Japanese civilians and Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Dresden, and how bad we were to do such things.
