Question

If you were in the shoes of the Allies, would you have fire-bombed Dresden? Why or why not? What do you think was lost in the bombing, and what do you think was gained? Answer, using your critical thinking skills, the question: was the bombing justified? What would you say to the people who argue that in the bombing Dresden, the Allies proved themselves no better than the Axis Powers (including the Nazis)?

Answer 1

From the perspective of the people of Dresden, the bombing was a catastrophic event that resulted in the loss of innocent lives and cultural heritage. The bombing of Dresden was particularly controversial because the city was not a major industrial or military target, and the bombing was carried out primarily to demoralize the German population.

To those who argue that the bombing of Dresden made the Allies no better than the Axis powers, it is important to note that the bombing of Dresden was not an intentional act of genocide or war crime. While it is true that the bombing resulted in the deaths of thousands of civilians, it was not carried out with the intent to specifically target civilians.
