“Remember to keep believing public education and Big Media headlines!
This sickens me. I feel like I’ve visited DU and need a bath.”
Wow equating me with a visit to DU sounds like a personal attack. Exactly what about my comment other than the allies lied about why they attack, which is a valid opinion considering all the controversy over this raid, reeks of DU? Why don’t you go pound sand instead of reading posts since you’re so sensitive. I’ll restate my opinion again. The amount of ordinance dropped on Dresden was enough to damage both the City and the outlying suburbs, where most of the factories were located. The fact they keep dropping incendiary devices in the city was to create the firestorm that happened. You want to have a debate about an historical event or what? And what does 70% or 100% have to do with anything? My point to bring that up was to just to throw out there that the Germans were pretty damn good at getting producing munitions at the end of the war.
Hindsight is 20/20...we have the luxury of looking back and determining that perhaps bombing Dresden wasn’t such a great idea....guess what, most decisions taken in war aren’t the right ones.....the best of battle plans don’t survive the first shot.
