Between the nights of February 13th and 14th, 1945, there began the
most controversial and DEADLY bombing-raids of World War II (and of all
history at that !), which dwarfed the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
combined !!
This event was the “Allied” fire-bombing of the German city of
Dresden, which was a city of great works of art and architecture.., and
had no military manufacturing at all within the city !! It had become a
city FAR over-crowded with refugees, as the war was all but virtually
over.
This is because from 1939 to the end of 1944, the city had been
spared the bombing raids that the Allies had launched on so MANY other
cities.., as this was simply a “cultural center,” and at the time was
considered “the Venice of Germany.”
AGAIN.., there were NO factories WITHIN the city center.., only a railroad station.., as any other large city would have.
By February 1945, the city was comprised of MOSTLY refugees (women,
children and wounded) moving from east to west in an attempt to escape
the advancing Red Army.
Hundreds of thousands.., now fled from this Red Army as it
relentlessly advanced towards Berlin. No one knows how many people were
in Dresden when the city was bombed. But officially, the city’s
population BEFORE the mass of refugees flowing in to it was 350,000,
FACT !!
BUT with the number of refugees flowing in.., by the time of the
bombing.., it had swollen to almost THREE times that amount.., close to a
MILLION refugees…
This documentary, which takes into account the latest historical
evidence.., makes a GREAT attempt to shed new light on the true atrocity
that this attempt at “genocide” of the German people was…
Contemporary witnesses.., previously unheard from.., describe the
events and the terror.., during the “multiple nights” (and subsequent
days !!) of this fire-bombing raid…
This film (made in 1990), which in the beginning (for approximately
the first 25 minutes) shows archive images of pre-war Dresden, which
then is then followed by the beginning of the first night of the
fire-bombing raid.
It also includes excerpts from a conference, with the outspoken
historian David Irving, where he gives information from Winston
Churchill’s personal diaries.., and paints a comprehensive picture of
the time, the background to the bombing-raid, and the strategies
employed to carry out this atrocity…
Above all, this film was made as a memorial to the loss of human life AND the great “works of art” lost…
As always, after watching, do your best to “pass it on”…..
!!! Truth Does Not Fear Investigation !!!
Also something VERY important to remember is.., “He who Wins the War, also Writes the History.”
