The Fire Bombing Of Dresden, Germany The Night Of February 13th, 1945 Continued For Another Day And A Half, Leaving 125,000-300,000 Civilians Dead And Destroying An European Medieval Jewel





HUNDREDS OF ALLIED BOMBERS DESCENDED UPON DRESDEN, GERMANY THE EVENING OF FEBRUARY 13TH, 1945 LOADED WITH TONS OF BOMBS AND INCENDIARY BOMBS LOOKING TO BLAST DRESDEN OFF THE MAP! THOSE WERE THEIR ORDERS! IN ESSENCE WHAT THE MILITARY CREWS IN THEIR BOMBERS WERE DOING WERE CARRYING OUT ORDERS BY POWER DRUNK PSYCHOPATHS IMBUED WITH WAR FEVER AND COMMITTING MASS GENOCIDE DESTROYING 800+ YEARS OF HISTORY, ART, AND CULTURE, ARCHITECTURE AND KILLING 125,000-300,000 CIVILIANS! THE ALLIES THEN WENT ON TO SYSTEMATICALLY BOMB EVERY CITY IN GERMANY INTO SUBMISSION UNTIL GERMANY SURRENDERED AND HITLER AND HIS GENERALS WERE NEUTERED!

THE CITY WAS THEN OCCUPIED BY SOVIET FORCES IN MAY OF 1945 AND THE RUSSIANS WERE PISSED! ONE CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE SUFFERING THE SURVIVORS HAD TO DEAL WITH UNDER THE SOVIET ARMY! COMMUNIST SLAVERY UNTIL 1990 WHEN GERMANY REUNIFIED!

THE CITY OF DRESDEN WAS FOUNDED IN 1206, BY A SMALL ORDER OF MONKS AND WAS BUILT INTO A MODERN HUB OF COMMERCE AND TECHNOLOGY. A PICTURESQUE CITY WITH A HIGH STANDARD OF LIVING AND THE RULE OF LAW. 

THE NIGHT THE ALLIES COMMITTED MASS MURDER AGAINST ITS' ENEMY THE GERMAN STATE SENT THE NAZI'S THAT THEY WERE NO LONGER THE SUPERIOR FORCE, THAT, THEY BETTER BACK DOWN AND SURRENDER OR WE WILL WIPE ALL OF YOUR CITIES OFF THE MAP! THE NAZI'S WERE FUCKING IMBECILES FOR STARTING A WAR THEY COULDN'T WIN ANYWAY, THAT WAS THEIR FIRST MISTAKE! IF YOU START A WAR, YOU HAD BETTER BE PREPARED TO USE EVERY WEAPON IN YOUR ARSENAL AND HAVE NO REMORSE FOR MASS KILLING! IN TODAY'S WORLD THAT MEANS USING NUCLEAR WEAPON AND KILLING CITIES WITH MILLION OF RESIDENTS! 

YOU CAN READ A DETAILED SUMMARY OF THE FIREBOMBING OF DRESDEN HERE.
The incendiaries started thousands of fires and, aided by a stiff wind and the early-on destruction of the telephone exchanges that might have summoned firefighters from nearby towns, these fires soon coalesced into one unimaginably huge firestorm. Now such firestorms are not natural phenomena, and are seldom created by man, so few people have any idea of their nature. Basically, what happened was this: The intense heat caused by the huge column of smoke and flame, miles high and thousands of acres in area, created a terrific updraft of air in the center of the column. This created a very low pressure at the base of the column, and surrounding fresh air rushed inward at speeds estimated to be thirty times that of an ordinary tornado. An ordinary tornado wind-force is a result of temperature differences of perhaps 20 to 30 degrees centigrade. In this firestorm the temperature differences were on the order of 600 to 1,000 degrees centigrade. This inward-rushing air further fed the flames, creating a literal tornado of fire, with winds in the surrounding area of many hundreds of miles per hour--sweeping men, women, children, animals, vehicles and uprooted trees pell-mell into the glowing inferno.
Exactly on schedule, three hours after the first attack, a second massive armada of British bombers arrived, again loaded with high explosive and massive quantities of incendiary bombs. The residents of Dresden, their power systems destroyed by the first raid, had no warning of the second. Again the British bombers attacked the center city of Dresden, this time dividing their targets--one half of the bombs were to be dropped into the center of the conflagration, to keep it going, the other half around the edges of the firestorm. No pretense whatever was made of selecting military targets. The timing of the second armada was such as to ensure that a large quantity of the surviving civilians would have emerged from their shelters by that time, which was the case, and also in hopes that rescue and firefighting crews would have arrived from surrounding cities, which also proved to be true. The firefighters and medics thus incinerated hadn't needed the telephone exchange to know that they were needed--the firestorm was visible from a distance of 200 miles.

It is reported that body parts, pieces of clothing, tree branches, huge quantities of ashes, and miscellaneous debris from the firestorm fell for days on the surrounding countryside as far away as eighteen miles. After the attack finally subsided, rescue workers found nothing but liquefied remains of the inhabitants of some shelters, where even the metal kitchen utensils had melted from the intense heat.

The next day, Ash Wednesday and Valentine's Day, 1945, medical and other emergency personnel from all over central Germany had converged on Dresden. Little did they suspect that yet a third wave of bombers was on its way, this time American. This attack had been carefully coordinated with the previous raids. Four hundred fifty Flying Fortresses and a support contingent of fighters arrived to finish the job at noon. I quote from David Irving's The Destruction of Dresden:
A HORRIFIC DAY IN THE ANNALS OF WAR! THE FIREBOMBING OF DRESDEN, GERMANY FEBRUARY 13TH-15TH, 1945!
