Remembering The Fallen on the 80th Anniversary of Dresden

February 13th, 14th and 15th of 2025 mark the 80th anniversary of the bombing of Dresden, carried out mainly by the British Royal Air Force, but with some participation by the United States Army Air Forces.

On July 8th, 1940, Winston Churchill wrote a letter to the Minister of Aircraft Production, Lord Beaverbrook, in which he stated the following:

“But there is one thing that will bring him back and bring him down, and that is an absolutely devastating, exterminating attack by very heavy bombers from this country upon the Nazi homeland.”

– said Churchill.

It is important to understand that during the British Royal Air Force’s bombing campaign of the Second World War, in which 60 German cities were largely reduced to rubble and hundreds of thousands of German civilians were killed, the people in charge understood perfectly well that they were committing massive war crimes, that they were deliberately massacring civilians. This was their plan, and the reason why they did this is that they believed that it would help them to win the war, and if they won the war, nobody would hold them to account for it anyway.
