In world war II more than 50.000 Million people lost her live.

It make no sence to count this city on this city.

War is war and allways a big mistake.

And we can all together happy, that all the enemy countrys from this time, are friends now.

Don't forget Warsaw and Amsterdam just to add a few more.

In fact it was Rotterdam and not Amsterdam... they bombed it even after the Dutch government surrendered...

Useless? When one tries to rewrite history and portray events not as they were it is MOST definetely not useless. Some would have us believe that places like Dresden were autrosities and that there was no reason to attack them and that the allies were somehow bloodthirsty, while ignoring who started the war and who committed what autrosities.

Useless, I dont think so.

Re-write History? I don’t see anyone in this thread arguing that Dresden didn’t happen or that any many other Cities in Europe didn’t also suffer. Whats your point?

Personally I didn’t see the need for Dresden. Germany was a beaten force and whatever the military targets that were taken out in Dresden, they had no bearing whatsoever on the outcome of the war.

The only concrete effect was that between 30,000 and 250,000 lost their lives (depending on who you ask).

Fortunately, opinions are like arseholes, everyones got one.
