Dresden had no significance whatsoever, it was a city filled with refugees fleeing from the red army hordes in the east, it was a city that had no tactical importance whatsoever, it only housed civilians (duh), wounded soldiers, both German and other nationalities fleeing from the Soviets, etc
I see you are trying to revise history again, you totally ignore the following... I wonder why?
The US Air Force Historical Division wrote a report in response to the international concern about the bombing, which was classified until December 1978.[28] This said that there were 110 factories and 50,000 workers in the city supporting the German war effort at the time of the raid.[29] According to the report, there were aircraft components factories; a poison gas factory (Chemische Fabrik Goye and Company); an anti-aircraft and field gun factory (Lehman); an optical goods factory (Zeiss Ikon AG); as well as factories producing electrical and X-ray apparatus (Koch & Sterzel AG); gears and differentials (Saxoniswerke); and electric gauges (Gebrüder Bassler). It also said there were barracks, hutted camps, and a munitions storage depot.[30] The USAF report also states that two of Dresden's traffic routes were of military importance: north-south from Germany to Czechoslovakia, and east-west along the central European uplands.[31] The city was at the junction of the Berlin-Prague-Vienna railway line, as well as the Munich-Breslau, and Hamburg-Leipzig.[31] Colonel Harold E. Cook, a US POW held in the Friedrichstadt marshaling yard the night before the attacks, later said that "I saw with my own eyes that Dresden was an armed camp: thousands of German troops, tanks and artillery and miles of freight cars loaded with supplies supporting and transporting German logistics towards the east to meet the Russians

but Hitler's war was different in that he did not do genocide through the air.
Except he tried in Coventry etc....
He did that in other ways, the allies however with they genocidal campaign of fire bombing civilians is another thing.
Of course you ignore all the German fire bombing.... funny that. The only reason the allies did it better is they had better and more bombers, that was the only thing stopping Germany.

let me ask you, when was coventry? was it, perhaps, AFTER the 7 times Churchill bombed Berlin and other German cities continually WITHOUT having Germany in the meantime bomb British cities? Churchill knew of the broken codes that emphasized Hitlers order to the luftwaffe to not bomb civilian areas, to only focus on military and coastal goals in the uk

Um I'm pretty sure Hitler inscinerating millions of Jews had something to do with it. Me thinks Churchill had no choice but to take out a man trying to conquer Europe.
Bull#, we're talking about 1933-1939 and the initial stages after the invasion of Poland. If Churchill never had done the insane measures against Germany, the Holocaust would have never happened. And sorry to burst your bubble, but it was never the intention of Hitler to "conquer" Europe. Hitler wanted to rightfully insert the German land that was stolen from them after Versaille back into Germany Proper. But that land was occupied by Poles who were unwilling to hand it over. 99% of that land housed Germans btw.

Oh the poor Germans, they started the war by attacking Poland, they their apologists whine because Germany was attacked! If Germany did not want to get bombed then perhaps they shouldnt have started the war....

Jesus H. Not content with making current middle east dictators look like very nice people trying their best whilst misunderstood by the satanic evil western press ATS contributors are now trying to make Hitler look like a nice guy.
You offend the memory of tens millions of people who died in WWII.
FYI, Churchill was not in any executive position capable of influing the war . It DID NOT START UNDER CHURCHILL Sheeeesh.

that is simply not true, Churchill was in fact one of the main mongers against Germany. There were may in Britain that would have just waited for aggressive reactions from Germany (which only came after France and Britain declared war against Germany, and Germany never declared the war back to them) Hitler wasn't a nice guy, he was a #head and one of the worst things that happened to the German people, but for historical accuracy, Churchill was equally a #head to the English because he got them into a war with another country which government declared that it wanted to go side by side with the UK. The war in Europe could have been avoided if it weren't for Churchill's aggressive anti-German stance in ww1 and pre ww2.

The presumption is that Churchill saved us from tyranny...and there is some basis in that, unless you consider yourself to be a pure-bred Aryan...whatever that may be...personally, while I respect Churchill as a military leader, I know enough to know that he was an enemy of the working classes, of which I consider myself a part...but at least I am not a victim of racial cleansing, so while kept in my place, at least I have a place and can keep up the good fight. I don't honestly think that there was ever a good guy in any of this...perhaps Roosevelt. His heart seemed to have been in the right place most of the time.
