Dresden, Germany – February 13th , 1945 and the war is over, Germany has lost. With no warning or military reason, US and British bombers pour over 3,300 tons of incendiary bombs on beautiful, non-combatant Dresden, swollen with countless refugees fleeing the murdering, raping Soviet hordes to the East. The bombs ignited a massive firestorm burning alive of 500,000 innocents, in the worst single event massacre in history. More were genocided in defenceless Dresden than died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined. The fleeing city zoo keeper later wrote of the spine-chilling screams of the elephants he had to abandon. Dresden. Don’t Forget.

"God, I hate the Germans..." (Dwight David Eisenhower in a letter to his wife in September, 1944, so no surprise that shortly after the slaughter in Dresden, Eisenhower ordered the US army in Germany round up any demobbed German soldiers it could fine. Over 1.7 million were corralled into over 200 POW camps, where 1.3million were starved to death over the weeks to follow.

Both sides, both guilty of vile attorcities. We should work together to ensure it doesnt happen again, rather then thousands fighting thousands over the same issues on the streets.

indymedia, please delete the Nazi comment above. NO ALLIANCE WITH NAZIS AND REVISIONISTS! FIGHT QUERFRONT!

Thats true , but WE - Antifa will not let the nazis use it as a pretext to march on that day to show their propaganda and imitate strength. We must show we are stronger than they are and we will do all kind of stuff to kick the possibility of a new nazi state. And as WE - anarchists, we don't justify any mass slaughter against civils in any war - be it nazi camps or pointless attack on Dresden. We are conscious that Dresden was a tragedy but all wars were provoked by those crazies in power. Fuck ''em all.

please delete the post by The General, and do not get provoked or reply to fascist trolls.

we do not want to hear nazi propaganda like '500,000 Germans died in the allied 'Holocaust'. It's a blatent Nazi lie and revisionism trying to infiltrate civil society and anti-war movements. If we now start promoting the views of the Nazi marchers in Dresden instead of criticising the resurgent fascist movement, where will that lead us???

Suspected revisionist The General said: "We should work together to ensure it doesnt happen again, rather then thousands fighting thousands over the same issues on the streets."

Surely people are fighting the neo-nazis on the streets precisely to ensure that atrocities like those that happened in WW2 don't happen again?

25,000 killed in Dresden, not 500,000

It was an atrocity, but not on the scale of the Holocaust.

1.6million Germans killed is the figure for ENTIRE deaths during the German withdrawal from the East - NOT deaths in allied POW camps. It included for instance, deaths from disease and starvation due to the German army's scorched earth policy, retributions against former war criminals and collaborators and the wider German population in Eastern Europe, and deaths in German actions behind the lines.

That there were war crimes by the Allied militarists is beyond question. But comparing these to Nazi atrocities is like saying there is no difference between the Nazis and any military force. All militarisms are evil, but the Nazis were pure evil, beyond pure and simple militarism.
