  • I’d disagree that Dresden in particular was strategically insignificant. The bigger issue is however that Germany and Japan were engaged in Total war, meaning all production capabilities were aimed at furthering the war efforts. Considering they didn’t pull any punches when it came to killing British civilians (~100k give or take) it was more than justified to do the major firebombings.

    Should you ever choose to visit Germany I’d highly recommend talking through this with some locals. Current day germans who aren’t outright nazis usually don’t resent the allies for it. Nazi Germany had to lose the war by all means necessary and personally I’m really glad we lost it.






  • There’s nothing to excuse, people die in wars. With an area this densely populated high civilian casualties are to be expected. Especially if you have combatants who are willing to hide behind the civilian population.

    Also don’t even think about comparing this to Russia Ukraine. Not only did Russia kill more ukrainians, the way more important factor is the justification for the wars. Ukraine was attacked without any credible justification. You can bothsides Isreal - Gaza if you want but the mission objective of taking out hamas is infinitely more justified.
