Dresden

From time to time we are told that the bombing of Dresden in 1945 was an atrocity, a massacre. I have been indifferent. There are only so many things one can care about. That was not one. Atrocities happened. The Japanese treatment of British prisoners was one and they got away with it. Other people fail to be amused. One such was Richard Crossman, a Labour politician whose diaries were honest. They also failed to amuse those named. He feels strongly that it was an act of evil, that Churchill and Butcher Harris were war criminals. He has been into the matter. Indeed he was involved on the propaganda side of matters. As personal matter I met a German from Torgau which is a bit further down the Elbe and that much nearer the sea. He told me that submarine hulls were built in Dresden then progressively fitted out as they were floated down to Hamburg and the sea.

Mr Crossman's view comes first. Read for yourself. Think for yourself. Decide for yourself.
