In 1977, Air Marshal Sir Arthur "Bomber" Harris was asked. if he had it to do over again, would he do anything differently? He answered, "If I had the same time over again, I would do the same thing. But I would always hope not to have the same time over again."
There are two times when natural gas is considered explosive is when it’s first leaking inside a building and the fuel/ air mixture is between 4 and 15% gas. The second time is when venting the structure after the leak is fixed and the air/ fuel mix passes through the 4-15% again.

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/
Following the bombing of Coventry's mediaeval cathedral in 1940, the Provost, the Very Revd Richard Howard, had the words 'Father Forgive' inscribed on the wall behind the Altar of the ruined building. [The Cross of Nails in Coventry Cathedral (Photograph; Patrick Comerford, 2011)]
