No se confundan los inexpertos, si bien Alemania cometió crímenes que ya sabemos y que Hollywood, los aliados en busca de legitimización de su regimen impuesto tras la victoria así como los bipolares judeo-sionistas quejosos se encargan de sacar a reluci a la menor oportunidad, algo olvidado es qu elso aliados tuvieron acciones repudiables contr ala población alemana, dignas de carcel y desprestigio, rusos, americanos e ingleses. De hundir el barco Wilhelm Gustloff con 11,000 refugiados, 4 veces más muertes que en el Titanic (tragedia anglosajona), a los crímenes en Prusia oriental y las centenas de miles de violaciones por consigna que el ejército realizo por parte de lso rusos a los maltratos de refugiados y presos en trabajos esclavos por parte de los aliados occidentales sobre población alemana a este otro, tan abominable como las violaciones masivas: Bombardear Dresden con bombas incendiarias durante días.
Así como hay revisionistas que protegen los supuestos numeros del supuesto Holocautos judío (es que ahora tal parece que Holocausto = cámaras de gas, cosa algo dudosa, no así los maltratos y muertes y esclavitud) también hay los anti revisionistas en el caso de Dresden donde algunos estiman murieron mas de cien mil personas, mientras que los antirevisionistas llaman a la calma afirmando que solo fueron 35,000 muertos, vaya que curioso que en este caso si se distingue entre tragedia grave y no tanto dependiendo del numero de las víctimas.
Que curioso, en este episodio en Dresden queda manifiesto que siempre se pretende: HACER PARECER A ALEMANIA COMO LA GRAN CULPABLE, AUMENTAR SUS DELITOS Y A LA PAR DISMUINUIR SUS TRAGEDIAS.

Kurt Vonnegut's eyewitness report
Read: "Apocalypse At Dresden" by R.H.S. Crossman, Great Britain's "Director of Psychological Warfare against Germany"
In February 1945, we joined the fortunate few, who were able to catch the last train out of the ancient German city of Breslau. Russian artillery was already pounding the city, and Russian infantry and armor units almost had the city surrounded. In haste, my mother and grandmother loaded my sturdy baby carriage with two wool blankets, a small metal milk can with lid, and my father's army canteen, filled with water. We also took my father's camera and a good set of dinner silverware, just in case we needed to trade these items for food or shelter.
While the remnants of a vastly outnumbered German army fought desperately to keep the last escape route from the doomed city open, our locomotive raced toward the west, toward Dresden. One or two brave German fighter pilots engaged several Russian aircraft to give us a chance to dash for a heavily wooded section of the line, where the treetops almost touched. The coals in the steam locomotive were quickly extinguished, and there we sat, sitting ducks if discovered, anxiously awaiting the night, when we could continue our journey in relative safety. The adults spoke only in whispers, and did their best to calm the crying children, as if the enemy fighter pilots could hear them from above. After restarting the engine, we reached Dresden safely a few minutes after midnight.
One of my earliest and most vivid childhood memories is of the crowded train station, and the masses of humanity everywhere. Despite the overwhelming army of refugees which had descended on them, many of the residents of Dresden gave what food they could spare to those refugees with young children. I remember a few compassionate, friendly faces so clearly that I could paint them today, had I the talent of an artist.
Because all of the available shelter was occupied by previous arrivals, we were forced to seek refuge in a small village outside the city, and therefore we survived.
The Allied bombers came on February 13, 1945, at 10:10 PM. They must have begun their attack from our direction, for the mighty roar of their powerful engines filled the farmhouse in which we had found shelter, so that we could not hear even the words our landlord shouted at us. Concerned that the planes would target the houses in our tiny village, he has trying to persuade everyone to go outside and run for the shelter of a nearby forest. As he tried to shout above this apocalyptic crescendo, even the pictures on our walls resonated with the wooden paneling, sounding like the roar of an enraged lion.
Instinctively, I crawled under the bed, but my mother dragged me from that shelter by my heels, and carried me with her to a heavy oak table. Oblivious to the well-intentioned advice of the farmer, she refused to move. Her still fresh memory of the Russian fighter planes that tried to hunt for our train hiding in the forest during our escape from Breslau made her fear open spaces more than anything. Nevertheless, she screamed at me that she feared that the house would collapse, and that the only safe place in that room was that enormously heavy table. It seemed as though we spent almost an hour there, while my mother hugged me ever more tightly whenever I began to cry.
Eventually, she was convinced that no bombs would fall on our insignificant village, and she led me a few hundred feet away from the house. There we stood, just the three of us, staring at the tragedy unfolding before our eyes.
Illuminated by the intense light of the dying city, thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of aluminum foil strips - dropped by the British bombers to confuse any German radar operators- descended from the heavens. To a child, it was a beautiful sight, as they landed on the nearby fir trees. I asked my grandmother, who had now joined us, whether it was Christmas. She seemed unable to speak, and only her sobs told me that this was a very sad occasion.
Thankfully, in my youthful ignorance, I could not fully comprehend the enormity of this human tragedy, which Mr. Crossman, who served in a secret department attached to the British Foreign Office (see the link above) describes with such eloquence. His story was first printed in Esquire Magazine in November, 1963.
In the opening page of of this web site, I have referred to the massacre of the innocent civilians at Dresden a war crime, because that is what it was. As in most war crimes, the men who followed orders and risked their lives to bomb what they had been told was an important military target, are completely innocent. The same goes for the men who planned the raid, including the one some historians have called "Bomber" Harris. He was an honorable, honest man and decent man.
Soldiers are seldom the instigators of war, but they are usually it's first victims. Their governments routinely lie to them, in order to ensure that they perform their often grisly tasks with appropriate zeal: The few air crew interviewed after they had returned from Dresden mentioned that some had been told they were attacking German Army headquarters, some that they were destroying an arms dump, knocking out an industrial area, even that they were "wiping out a large poison gas plant."

The Real Churchill
Churchill was aware of his many shortcomings, when he said: "History will be kind to me, for I shall write it". His contemporaries were not as impressed with him as he was of himself. The Spectator newspaper said of Churchill upon his appointment as First Lord of the Admiralty in 1911: "We cannot detect in his career any principles or even any constant outlook upon public affairs; his ear is always to the ground; he is the true demagogue." John Morley, a newspaper editor and member of the House of Lords, said of him: "Winston has no principles".
In 1911, Churchill became First Lord of the Admiralty, and used every opportunity to fan the flames of war. When it came, he was all smiles and was the only cabinet member who had backed war from the start. Asquith, his own Prime Minister wrote: "Winston very bellicose and demanding immediate mobilization - has got all his war paint on." After the war was over, he was instrumental in establishing the illegal starvation blockade of Germany, and maintaining it until July 1919. While it killed 750,000 German civilians by hunger and malnutrition, the youth who survived went on to become the most fanatical Nazis. During the last two years of that war, over one million non-combatants in Germany and Austria died of starvation. An armistice effectively ended the war on November 11, 1918. On December 13, 1918, when the Germans pleaded to be allowed to import wheat, fats, condensed milk, medicines, and other essentials, their pleas were rejected. In Bohemia, in February 1919, 20 per cent of babies were born dead, and 40% died within the first month od birth. Only in March 1919, when Lord Plumer, G.O.C. British Army of the Rhine, informed the British Government that his soldiers wer 'unable to endure the spectacle of starving children", was the blockade partially relaxed (Unfinished Victory, Arthur Bryant (1940) pp.4, 16, 10, 18)
Was Churchill responsible for the sinking of the Lusitania on May 7, 1915, which brought America into the war? The Lusitania was a civilian passenger ship loaded with munitions. Churchill had ordered the captains of merchant ships, including liners, to ram German submarines. A week before the disaster he wrote: "most important to attract neutral shipping to our shores, in the hope of embroiling the United States with Germany". In 1919, as Colonial Secretary, Churchill advocated the use of chemical weapons on the "uncooperative Arabs" in the British puppet state of Iraq. "I do not understand the squeamishness about the use of gas" he declared. "I am strongly in favor of using poison gas against uncivilized tribes."
During the Second World War, Churchill lied to the House of Commons and the public, claiming that only military and industrial installations were targeted. When he learned on January 26, 1945, that the Russian Army had crossed the Oder river at Breslau, and was only 60 miles from Dresden, he angrily called Sir Archibald Sinclair, the Secretary of State for air, and asked him what plans he had for "basting the Germans" (i.e: to moisten while cooking, as in "roasting meat"). In fact, the aim was to kill as many civilians as possible. Hence the terror bombing of German cities that killed 600,000 civilians and left 800,000 injured. According to the official history of the Royal Air Force: "The destruction of Germany was by then on a scale which might have appalled Attila or Ghengis Khan."
At the Tehran conference in November 1943, Churchill presented Stalin, who had murdered millions of Christians, with a Crusaders's sword, as a "defender" of the Christian West. The policy of mass slavery, which Stalin implemented, was completely acceptable to Churchill. In January 1945 he said: "Why are we making a fuss about the Russian deportations in Rumania of Saxons and others?...I cannot see the Russians are wrong in making 100 ot 150 thousand of these people work their passage...I cannot myself consider that it is wrong of the Russians to take Rumanians of any origin they like to work in the Russian coal fields."
