Then why didn’t the Germans declare Dresden an open City, announce that it was only full of civilians and they were evacuating. And no military activity would happen there?
And that’s utterly stupid to say the war was over in February 45, there was one heck of a lot of bitter fighting still to go. And it wasn’t going to end if you started pulling your punches. This is just Nazi sympathy porn, trying to deflect away from what they did in the east.
“This is just Nazi sympathy porn, trying to deflect away from what they did in the east.”
None of my posts defended the Nazis in any way. That is the deflection on your part after being unable to defend the mindset of the Dresden raids and how strikingly similar it is to the ISIS mentality.
So let’s repeat.
Dresden had no military significance in February 1945. Like every other city in Europe, it had a rail system.
The bombing raid was specifically planned to kill as many civilians as possible. It was not designed to damage the rail system. It was designed to kill as many men, women and children civilians as possible for the sole reason that they were germans.
And you defend this with your heart and soul.
ISIS and the rest of their kind believe they are war with the infidel west. As such, they believe they are allowed to kill as many infidel men, women and children civilians as possible for the sole reason of being infidels.
