Yeah, yeah. If Dresden was such a high value target why wasn't bombed before that? Could it be that they waited until it full of wounded and refugees.

Strategic bombing never slowed down German industrial production and was practically a non factor in determining the outcome of the war. It was only good for one thing and that was the destruction of civilians.

If you want to make excuses for the incineration of tens of thousands non-combatants that's on you.

You seem to have a rather belligerent “name”, for such a passivist point of view.

On the contrary: it made an enormous difference - once it was carried out in earnest. Speer himself admitted as much.
