Before February, 1945, Dresden was a city largely untouched by war. It was also an undefended city, packed with refugees fleeing from the advancing Russians. More people were to die there than at Hiroshima or Nagasaki. In one of the most devastating raids on Germany almost 2,000 Allied bombers dropped 3,000 tons of bombs, including 650,000 incendiaries, on the centre of Dresden. The result was a fire-storm that virtually erased the city and killed 135,000 people. These are the facts that lie at the centre of this account of the Dresden raid.

Seller's Description:
World War II-Western Europe Mass markey paperback. Pages browning. Good. That the bombing of Dresden was a great tragedy none can deny. That it was really a military necessity few, after reading this book, will believe. It was one of those terrible things that sometimes happen in wartime. Those who approved it were neither wicked nor cruel, though it may well be that they were too remote from the harsh realities of war to understand fully the appalling destructive power of air bombardment. UL-XXXXXX. 255pp, ills.
