*B-17s of the 602nd Bomb Squadron, 398th Bomb Group, at very high altitude, in one of their last bombing raids of the war over Germany, 1945.

The Chin turrets were largely being removed for extra speed as there was no Luftwaffe resistance at this point.

@INNYGMATYK

No Luftwaffe resistance

Aka we bombed an undefended city because "We're the good guys"

@Foxhound Probably.

> War

Don't care - pretty planes - included the tidbit from OP for context.

Tbh ; I wanna have a big talk one day about our politics one day.

*seethes quietly about dresden*

Actually

*Seethes furiously about Dresden*

@Foxhound total war man

Genocide, man.

Against an undefended city.

That history has forgotten

Again, that was total war and no it doesn't make it right

Civilian targets were just as much a priority as military targets

it ain ""fair"", but it is the way.

u know there was alot of american bombers that took part in dresden bombing

Yup

It was an allied effort

just saw his pic of England this and England that, and thot it was ridiculous when everyone did bombing campaigns. especially when germany killed 43 thousand people in the blitz

No side truly were the good guys

large scale bombing is horrible but when one side starts it u cant expect the other side to not retaliate.

Nope

At least when the Soviets had the scorched earth policy, they did it to themselves lol

kek saved germany the trouble

Right

Bold to assume that I don't blame the Americans just as much

722 British planes
527 American

Against 28 Messerschmitts

shit sucks man but thats war, everyone did that shit. The germans are just as guilty as anyone else

everyone took a slice of the war crimes pie

Where did I say the german's weren't?

u didnt mention germany at all. but when people get butthurt over dresden they just tend to look at the dresden bombing and just get mad at the allies.

and its funny, dresden isnt even the worst hit, hamburg got hit so bad it made a fire tornado

bro talking bout dresden like mustachio guy didnt try to bomb to the ground every british city

also

war crimes are only comitted by the loosing side

> war crimes are only comitted by the loosing side
@NovaSoldier that was pretty much my point

didnt read all tbh
