I thought that military materiel was stored in Dresden? Wouldn’t that make it a target?

Military materiel was stored, and produced, in Dresden. Frederick Taylor's book "Dresden: February 13, 1945" casts much light on this.

The city was, in February 1945, an important transportation center for what remained of the German Reich, in addition to being a center for ammunition production.

Yes, civilian casualties were high and appalling. But the city contained targets of military value.
