    Mass killing and terrorism were the sole objectives of the horrific
    World War II air attack on Dresden, which British diplomat and author
    Harold Nicolson called �the single greatest holocaust by war.� On
    February 13-14, 1945, some 2,000 British and American bombers took
    part in the devastating raid on an undefended city packed with women
    and children fleeing ad�vancing Soviet forces. One of Europe�s great
    cultural and ar�chitectural treasures, this beautiful German city had
    no importance as a military target. Here is the full story � from the perspectives of both per�petrators and victims � of the horrific
    firestorm raid that took the lives of tens of thousands of civilians,
    who were burned alive, suffocated or succumbed to poisonous fumes.
    Hardcover book, with dust jacket, photos, maps, source and reference
    notes, and index.

    They should have done it to MORE German cities ...

    Sorry, NO slack for monsters like Hitler or his
    ardent supporters.

    Translate that to "Gaza/Hamas".

    By the way, that lame cocksucker David Irving admitted he lied
    big time about the number of Dresden "victims"!

    One of those who survived being on the receiving end of the bombing
    was an American POW named Kurt Vonnegut. You might have heard of him;
    he later used the incident as the main setting for his novel
    “Slaughterhouse Five” (or “Schlachthof Fünf” as he was taught to say).

    It is almost as if the past sets something called precedent!

    Read it many years ago. Too bad these kike lovers don't possess the
    education one needs to engage in intelligent conversation about the
    events of WWII.

    It's been kind of like that at least since they figured
    out how to scribble on clay tablets. Conquest, holy wars,
    genocides, rape & pillage, cities in flames.

    History never repeats exactly, but the same themes keep
    popping up. Humans are wired kinda the same, so ...

    History is a room of fun-house mirrors eh ?
