Finally some have tried to say Dresden was NOT a legitimate military target which this article refutes. A significant factor was that unknown to the Allied Dresden’s anti-aircraft guns had recently been shipped to defend the Eastern Front. https://www.hdot.org/debunking-denial/d1-dresden-military-target/
