@DA GOMMIE JOO I mean, they had almost taken Germany at that point. It's not like anyone would be putting up a fight at that point. Seems reasonable that they could fly too and from Dresden with no resistance. If that was the case, bombing the factories wasn't necessary. The Wermacht were mostly on our side by February of 1945.

exactly, they had absolutely no reason to bomb dresden

in fact, after the blitz, they should've known that strategic bombing doesn't work

given how the absolute onslaught against london never broke their spirit

there was no logical reason to bomb dresden and many valid reasons not to

the attack on dresden makes absolutely no sense unless you're a kraut looking for reparations

Seems reasonable, yes. Are you mostly disputing the idea that the Brits did it out of malice instead of incompetence?

I'm saying they never did it

Wait, what?

(((anglos)))

the bomb loads and ground reports make it actually impossible

reports of people being "charred to ash" by bombs that only burn for 30 seconds

Yes

Bombs do that, incendiary bombs are very powerful.

bombers that would've needed to carry more than twice their maximum loads to hit the total given

no look

thermite burns at 4000 degrees fahrenheit

the average cremator burns at 2000 degrees fahrenheit

it takes a cremator several hours to burn a body

in an isolated space

with heat on all sides

a bomb in open air burning for 30 seconds cannot char a body

twice the temperature does not give you an over ten fold increase in speed

bruh..

But you're ignoring that a crematorium takes time to reach its maximum temperature, this is literally a chemical explosion.

Also, there's no way the krauts could've pulled off a hoax this big. Immediately after war? Being humiliated on the world stage? Their expatriates locked up in POW camps? Even today, mentioning Dresden or having anti-interventionist views regarding WW2 is regarded as soft Nazi apologia.

the soviets completely covered the area afterwards and they were the soviets

in fact, the east germans played a major role in inflating the death toll

look if you can accept that the holocaust was fake then how is a single city completely infeasible to you

Because, again, krauts literally didn't have the influence to propagate such a myth.

it would've looked very good for the soviets post-war if they could spin the firebombing into the evils of the west

and the soviets were no strangers to editing the truth

they kept the afloat the myth of hitler being alive, when they had his teeth all the time

I can imagine stalin telling his advisors "twenty thousand? I'll see you half a million! They used a thousand bombers! Who cares how impossible it sounds?"

You think Soviets would've felt sympathy for the Nazis they were told to hate the entire war? It was much easier to tout the famine in India or the lynching in the US as an example of evils of the West.

How many media companies were owned by krauts post-WW2? Meanwhile, Jews are building their own nation, and are desperate for foreign military aid, they had every reason to propagate the myth, and the means.

I'm not gonna step right out and say that stalin and the soviets directly were in charge

but the east germans most likely clamped down on the myth

with some aid from soviet intelligence to spin it into a convincing little story about how the west flattened a city

and boy oh boy did they get gibs out of it
