@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
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
kinda lomg thread
Yep.
Tl;dr
It pisses me off that the war crimes committed by the allies are nearly entirely forgotten.
