[justify]On the night of February 13th 1945, there began one of the most controversial raids of World War Two - the bombing of Dresden. Witnesses to the raid and its aftermath describe the events and the terror of what it was like to be in Dresden throughout the night of the raid.[/justify]

[justify]In 1941 Charles Portal of the British Air Staff advocated that entire cities and towns should be bombed. Portal claimed that this would quickly bring about the collapse of civilian morale in Germany. Air Marshall Arthur Harris agreed and when he became head of RAF Bomber Command in February 1942, he introduced a policy of area bombing (known in Germany as terror bombing) where entire cities and towns were targeted.

One tactic used by the Royal Air Force and the United States Army Air Force was the creation of firestorms. This was achieved by dropping incendiary bombs, filled with highly combustible chemicals such as magnesium, phosphorus or petroleum jelly (napalm), in clusters over a specific target. After the area caught fire, the air above the bombed area, become extremely hot and rose rapidly. Cold air then rushed in at ground level from the outside and people were sucked into the fire.

In 1945, Arthur Harris decided to create a firestorm in the medieval city of Dresden. He considered it a good target as it had not been attacked during the war and was virtually undefended by anti-aircraft guns. The population of the city was now far greater than the normal 650,000 due to the large numbers of refugees fleeing from the advancing Red Army.

On the 13th February 1945, 773 Avro Lancasters bombed Dresden. During the next two days the USAAF sent over 527 heavy bombers to follow up the RAF attack. Dresden was nearly totally destroyed. As a result of the firestorm it was afterwards impossible to count the number of victims. Recent research suggest that 35,000 were killed but some German sources have argued that it was over 100,000.[/justify]

[center][large]The WWII Dresden Holocaust
'A Single Column Of Flame'[/large][/center]



[justify]"You guys burnt the place down, turned it into a single column of flame. More people died there in the firestorm, in that one big flame, than died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined." --Kurt Vonnegut, Jr

On the evening of February 13, 1945, an orgy of genocide and barbarism began against a defenseless German city, one of the greatest cultural centers of northern Europe. Within less than 14 hours not only was it reduced to flaming ruins, but an estimated one-third of its inhabitants, possibly as many as a half a million, had perished in what was the worst single event massacre of all time.

___

Toward the end of World War II, as Allied planes rained death and destruction over Germany, the old Saxon city of Dresden lay like an island of tranquillity amid desolation. Famous as a cultural center and possessing no military value, Dresden had been spared the terror that descended from the skies over the rest of the country.

In fact, little had been done to provide the ancient city of artists and craftsmen with anti-aircraft defenses. One squadron of planes had been stationed in Dresden for awhile, but the Luftwaffe decided to move the aircraft to another area where they would be of use. A gentlemen's agreement seemed to prevail, designating Dresden an "open city."

February 13/14 1945: Holocaust over Dresden, known as the Florence of the North. Dresden was a hospital city for wounded soldiers. Not one military unit, not one anti-aircraft battery was deployed in the city. Together with the 600.000 refugees from Breslau, Dresden was filled with nearly 1.2 million people. Churchill had asked for "suggestions how to blaze 600.000 refugees". He wasn't interested how to target military installations 60 miles outside of Dresden. More than 700.000 phosphorus bombs were dropped on 1.2 million people. One bomb for every 2 people. The temperature in the centre of the city reached 1600 o centigrade. More than 260.000 bodies and residues of bodies were counted. But those who perished in the centre of the city can't be traced. Approximately 500.000 children, women, the elderly, wounded soldiers and the animals of the zoo were slaughtered in one night.[/justify]


[justify]On Shrove Tuesday, February 13, 1945, a flood of refugees fleeing the Red Army 60 miles away had swollen the city's population to well over a million. Each new refugee brought fearful accounts of Soviet atrocities. Little did those refugees retreating from the Red terror imagine that they were about to die in a horror worse than anything Stalin could devise.

Normally, a carnival atmosphere prevailed in Dresden on Shrove Tuesday. In 1945, however, the outlook was rather dismal. Houses everywhere overflowed with refugees, and thousands were forced to camp out in the streets shivering in the bitter cold.

However, the people felt relatively safe; and although the mood was grim, the circus played to a full house that night as thousands came to forget for a moment the horrors of war. Bands of little girls paraded about in carnival dress in an effort to bolster warning spirits. Half-sad smiles greeted the laughing girls, but spirits were lifted.

No one realized that in less than 24 hours those same innocent children would die screaming in Churchill's firestorms. But, of course, no one could know that then. The Russians, to be sure, were savages, but at least the Americans and British were "honorable."

So, when those first alarms signaled the start of 14 hours of hell, Dresden's people streamed dutifully into their shelters. But they did so without much enthusiasm, believing the alarms to be false, since their city had never been threatened from the air. Many would never come out alive, for that "great democratic statesman," Winston Churchill--in collusion with that other "great democratic statesman," Franklin Delano Roosevelt--had decided that the city of Dresden was to be obliterated by saturation bombing.

What where Churchill's motives? They appear to have been political, rather than military. Historians unanimously agree that Dresden had no military value. What industry it did have produced only cigarettes and china.

But the Yalta Conference was coming up, in which the Soviets and their Western allies would sit down like ghouls to carve up the shattered corpse of Europe. Churchill wanted a trump card--a devastating "thunderclap of Anglo-American annihilation"--with which to "impress" Stalin.

That card, however, was never played at Yalta, because bad weather delayed the originally scheduled raid. Yet Churchill insisted that the raid be carried out--to "disrupt and confuse" the German civilian population behind the lines.

Dresden's citizens barely had time to reach their shelters. The first bomb fell at 10:09 p.m. The attack lasted 24 minutes, leaving the inner city a raging sea of fire. "Precision saturation bombing" had created the desired firestorm.

A firestorm is caused when hundreds of smaller fires join in one vast conflagration. Huge masses of air are sucked in to feed the inferno, causing an artificial tornado. Those persons unlucky enough to be caught in the rush of wind are hurled down entire streets into the flames. Those who seek refuge underground often suffocate as oxygen is pulled from the air to feed the blaze, or they perish in a blast of white heat--heat intense enough to melt human flesh.

One eyewitness who survived told of seeing "young women carrying babies running up and down the streets, their dresses and hair on fire, screaming until they fell down, or the collapsing buildings fell on top of them."[/justify]

[justify]There was a three-hour pause between the first and second raids. The lull had been calculated to lure civilians from their shelters into the open again. To escape the flames, tens of thousands of civilians had crowded into the Grosser Garten, a magnificent park nearly one and a half miles square.

The second raid came at 1:22 a.m. with no warning. Twice as many bombers returned with a massive load of incendiary bombs. The second wave was designed to spread the raging firestorm into the Grosser Garten.

It was a complete "success." Within a few minutes a sheet of flame ripped across the grass, uprooting trees and littering the branches of others with everything from bicycles to human limbs. For days afterward, they remained bizarrely strewn about as grim reminders of Allied sadism.

At the start of the second air assault, many were still huddled in tunnels and cellars, waiting for the fires of the first attack to die down. At 1:30 a.m. an ominous rumble reached the ears of the commander of a Labor Service convoy sent into the city on a rescue mission. He described it this way:

"The detonation shook the cellar walls. The sound of the explosions mingled with a new, stranger sound which seemed to come closer and closer, the sound of a thundering waterfall; it was the sound of the mighty tornado howling in the inner city."

MELTING HUMAN FLESH

Others hiding below ground died. But they died painlessly--they simply glowed bright orange and blue in the darkness. As the heat intensified, they either disintegrated into cinders or melted into a thick liquid--often three or four feet deep in spots.

Shortly after 10:30 on the morning of February 14, the last raid swept over the city. American bombers pounded the rubble that had been Dresden for a steady 38 minutes. But this attack was not nearly as heavy as the first two.

However, what distinguished this raid was the cold-blooded ruthlessness with which it was carried out. U.S. Mustangs appeared low over the city, strafing anything that moved, including a column of rescue vehicles rushing to the city to evacuate survivors. One assault was aimed at the banks of the Elbe River, where refugees had huddled during the horrible night.

In the last year of the war, Dresden had become a hospital town. During the previous night's massacre, heroic nurses had dragged thousands of crippled patients to the Elbe. The low-flying Mustangs machine-gunned those helpless patients, as well as thousands of old men, women and children who had escaped the city.

When the last plane left the sky, Dresden was a scorched ruin, its blackened streets filled with corpses. The city was spared no horror. A flock of vultures escaped from the zoo and fattened on the carnage. Rats swarmed over the piles of corpses.

A Swiss citizen described his visit to Dresden two weeks after the raid: "I could see torn-off arms and legs, mutilated torsos and heads which had been wrenched from their bodies and rolled away. In places the corpses were still lying so densely that I had to clear a path through them in order not to tread on arms and legs."


****************

Kurt Vonnegut was in Dresden when it was bombed in 1945, and wrote a famous anti-war novel, Slaughterhouse Five, in 1969.[/justify]


[justify]In February 1945, Vonnegut was witness to another pretty good imitation of Mt Vesuvius; the firebombing by Allied forces of Dresden, the town in eastern Germany, during the last months of the Second World War. More than 600,000 incen-diary bombs later, the city looked more like the surface of the moon. Returning home to India-napolis after the war, Vonnegut began writing short stories for magazines such as Collier's and The Saturday Evening Post, and, seven years later, published his first novel, Player Piano. ...


Finally, in 1969, he tackled the subject of war, recounting his experiences as a POW in Dresden, forced to dig corpses from the rubble. The resulting novel was Slaughterhouse Five. Banned in several US states - and branded a "tool of the devil" in North Dakota - it carried the snappy alternative title: "The Children's Crusade: A Duly Dance with Death, by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr, a fourth-generation German-American now living in easy circumstances on Cape Cod (and smoking too much) who, as an American infantry scout hors de combat, as a prisoner of war, witnessed the fire bombing of Dresden, Germany - the Florence of the Elbe - a long time ago, and survived to tell the tale: this is a novel somewhat in the telegraphic schizopfrenic manner of tales of the planet Tralfamodre, where the flying saucers come from, Peace." ....

In December 1944, Vonnegut was captured by the German army and became a prisoner of war. In Slaughterhouse Five, he describes how he narrowly escaped death a few months later in the firebombing of Dresden. "Yes, by your people [the English], may I say," he insists. "You guys burnt the place down, turned it into a single column of flame. More people died there in the firestorm, in that one big flame, than died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined. I'm fond of your people, on occasion, but I was just thinking about 'Bomber Harris, who believed in attacks on civilian populations to make them give up. A hell of a lot of Royal Air Force guys were ashamed of what Harris had made them do. And that's really sportsmanship and, of course, the Brits are famous for being good sports," he concedes.

The Independent, London, 20 December 2001, p. 19

***************

The death toll was staggering. The full extent of the Dresden Holocaust can be more readily grasped if one considers that well over 250,000 -- possibly as many as a half a million -- persons died within a 14-hour period, whereas estimates of those who died at Hiroshima range from 90,000 to 140,000.*

Allied apologists for the massacre have often "twinned" Dresden with the English city of Coventry. But the 380 killed in Coventry during the entire war cannot begin to compare with over 1,000 times that number who were slaughtered in 14 hours at Dresden. Moreover, Coventry was a munitions center, a legitimate military target. Dresden, on the other hand, produced only china--and cups and saucers can hardly be considered military hardware!

It is interesting to further compare the respective damage to London and Dresden, especially when we recall all the Hollywood schmaltz about the "London blitz." In one night, 1,600 acres of land were destroyed in the Dresden massacre. London escaped with damage to only 600 acres during the entire war.

In one ironic note, Dresden's only conceivable military target -- its railroad yards -- was ignored by Allied bombers. They were too busy concentrating on helpless old men, women and children.

If ever there was a war crime, then certainly the Dresden Holocaust ranks as the most sordid one of all time. Yet there are no movies made today condemning this fiendish slaughter; nor did any Allied airman--or Sir Winston--sit in the dock at Nuremberg. In fact, the Dresden airmen were actually awarded medals for their role in this mass murder. But, of course, they could not have been tried, because there were "only following orders."

This is not to say that the mountains of corpses left in Dresden were ignored by the Nuremberg Tribunal. In one final irony, the prosecution presented photographs of the Dresden dead as "evidence" of alleged National Socialist atrocities against Jewish concentration-camp inmates!

Churchill, the monster who ordered the Dresden slaughter, was knighted, and the rest is history. The cold-blooded sadism of the massacre, however, is brushed aside by his biographers, who still cannot bring themselves to tell how the desire of one madman to "impress" another one let to the mass murder of up to a half million men, women and children.

[center][large]Dresden Holocaust[/large][/center]



[justify]As many are likely aware, February 13th marks the 65th anniversary of the fire bombing of Dresden, Germany during WWII. The event took place from February 13-15, and is one of the only parts of world war two that can literally be described as a holocaust. Just for reference, a holocaust is a burnt offering, as I have highlighted before, but feel free to look HERE and see for yourself.



Hundreds of thousands of Germans were torched in a real holocaust, or burnt offering, in Dresden and Hamburg in 1945. Who were the jews sacrificing these innocent people to?

If you do look for yourself, you?ll quickly see that the ?holocaust? has come to almost exclusively mean the deaths of six million jews, supposedly murdered by the Germans during WWII. This is simply propaganda, as I?ve stated before, so many times that I?m actually getting deja vu typing it out again. The only definition to concern one?s self with is the fact that holocaust means, literally, ?burnt offering?.
The bombing of Dresden fits this description accurately. The city was (falsely) described as a military target, when in reality it was a cultural center of Europe known for it?s beautiful Baroque architecture more than anything else. Dresden was largely untouched during WWII, but that all ended on February 13th, the day before Valentine?s Day. Unfortunately, those who had set their sites on Dresden were nothing like Cupid, and they had no interest in spreading love. Instead it was allied bombers dropping thousands of tons of incendiary bombs on a civilian population in the most barbaric, inhumane firebombing in history.


Dresden was utterly decimated by allied bombing, and scorched to the ground by firestorms resulting from the use of incendiary weapons on a civilian populated cultural center.

Although labeled a military target, the outlying industrial areas of Dresden would remain untouched by the bombing raids, and instead the heart of the city would be bombed to death. Many refugees flooded into Dresden from surrounding areas as the German fronts were pushed back by allied forces and Stalin?s (jew) ruthless raping, murdering Bolsheviks (jews). At the time, the population was said to have swelled to almost double it?s original size due to these reasons, reaching nearly one million people.
Within two days of the start of the bombing raid against Dresden, Germany?s seventh largest city at the time, fifteen square miles of the city would lay in ruins, consumed in firestorms that were so fierce they spawned tornadoes of fire, which would turn humans to glowing embers in a matter of moments. When the raids started, many people foolishly refused to seek shelter, because Dresden wasn?t a military center, and hadn?t been touched during the entire war.
Ignoring the air raid sirens would cost thousands of civilian residents and refugees their lives. Dresden didn?t even have any air defenses to ward off attacks, and many were lulled into a false sense of security because it was one of the only German cities untouched by the whole of the war. Most Germans sought shelter when the sirens went off, but most didn?t believe they would be attacked anyway.


This is actually an image of the firestorm from Hamburg, Germany, which got the same treatment as Dresden, but not nearly as bad.

At around 10:09 pm the bombs started to drop. Allied bombers pummeled the city for nearly half an hour before the drone of their engines and the thunder of their terror bombing subsided, leaving much of the city engulfed in flames. Firestorms raged as many smaller fires converged into one huge inferno, tearing it?s way through the heart of the city.

Many of the people who originally sought shelter underground, to avoid the carnage of the bombs raining down on them, would unfortunately succumb to suffocation as the fire fed on the oxygen in the surrounding air.
Many others would perish by being burned to a puddle of flesh, literally, but it would get worse before it got better.


This is a view of Dresden after the jews ordered that a massive holocaust take place to appease their insatiable appetite for blood and misery.

Approximately three hours after the first wave of the attack, RAF Bomber Command had the second wave on target. The three hour gap between the first and second raids was specifically planned to give people enough time to come out of their shelters to escape the fire, and just enough time for the rescue teams to arrive and start helping survivors. This is the same thing you see today when mossad jews set off a bomb, then time a second explosion when the help arrives, ensuring massive casualties.
By the time the second wave arrived, the thousands of fires spread across the city of Dresden could be seen from over sixty miles away by ground, and five hundred miles away by air, with massive billows of smoke rising ominously 15,000 feet into the air. This second wave dropped their munitions on either side of the huge smoldering area to spread the damage even further bombing the main railway station (a place where refugees were seeking shelter, just like jews bombing UN buildings in Gaza full of innocent people) and Großer Garten, a park where many of the victims had gone to escape the fires of the first run.


Don?t mind all the bodies that litter the streets in this image, or the bombed out buildings, smoke, and dust everywhere. Get used to it, because it?s coming to America. Just a few buildings were bombed by jews on 911, but it can get much worse.

In just 23 minutes the bombers dropped 1,800 tons of bombs, setting off the aforementioned tornadoes that would cremate a human in an instant. People on the ground reported seeing men and women running around with their clothes and hair on fire. There were reports of adults burnt to a crisp, their bodies so shriveled from the heat, many were shrunken to the size of a child. The tornadoes of fire swept the streets, forcing many to stay in their shelters, only to die from heat and asphyxiation.
Pieces of bodies including arms, legs, torsos and heads littered the streets and the park. Dead rescuers, soldiers, civilians. Men, women, and children were all sent to their deaths in one of the largest ?burnt offerings? which were ?wholly consumed? by fire, that the world has ever seen. Even those lucky enough to make it out from their shelters into the streets would watch many others die as bombed out buildings crumbled and smashed them to death. Many would faint in the streets from lack of oxygen and burn to death. Some would either burn up and simply glow like a cinder, while others would be reduced to piles of mushy cooked human flesh.

To my left I suddenly see a woman. I can see her to this day and shall never forget it. She carries a bundle in her arms. It is a baby. She runs, she falls, and the child flies in an arc into the fire.
Suddenly, I saw people again, right in front of me. They scream and gesticulate with their hands, and then ? to my utter horror and amazement ? I see how one after the other they simply seem to let themselves drop to the ground. (Today I know that these unfortunate people were the victims of lack of oxygen). They fainted and then burnt to cinders.
Insane fear grips me and from then on I repeat one simple sentence to myself continuously: ?I don?t want to burn to death?. I do not know how many people I fell over. I know only one thing: that I must not burn. ? Margaret Freyer ? Survivor

All the way through Valentine?s Day and into the 15th of February allied forces continued to bombard Dresden. Many bombers unable to see from the massive amounts of smoke covering Dresden would bomb further and further out, spreading the death and destruction out for miles and miles beyond the city center. Supposedly some groups had primary targets, but ended up bombing Dresden anyway as a secondary target. The truth is likely they all had orders to decimate Dresden, and so they did; over 15 square miles of it.


Dresden was left as a pile of smoldering rubble, much like the burnt offering by jews at the world trade center on 911. Today American troops continue to doll out this kind of devastation for their jewish masters on other countries. How long until it?s our turn?

Within two days the allies had dropped 3,900 tons of high explosive and incendiary bombs on the civilian population of Dresden. The entire city lay in ruins, with absolutely nothing spared. Hospitals, clinics, churches, markets, schools, cultural buildings, chapels, residential building, stores, shops, insurance buildings, retail houses, warehouses, and everything you can think of was utterly decimated, but hardly any military targets were hit at all, because there weren?t really any to hit.
Some estimates state that nearly half a million people were killed in this horrific ?holocaust? that is hardly mentioned at all in the history books. In fact, the official count is held at a paltry 25-60,000 depending on which source you look at, but the city had 650,000 residents at the time, and had swelled to nearly one million as refugees and wounded soldiers from other areas poured in. The Germans reported over 200,000 deaths in the days following the barbaric attacks, but this is brushed off today by jewish historians and publishing outlets as merely German propaganda.
So, what was the reason for this massive holocaust? The answer to this is really simple. The jews behind the war, Churchill, Eisenhower, and Roosevelt were likely acting on orders from the World Jewish Congress to reign down terror on the German people for putting jews into work camps. Germany was to be taught a lesson for trying to single out the jews, and even worse using them for hard labor. Churchill seems to be the source of these inhumane attacks, so listen to what he says:

It seems to me that the moment has come when the question of bombing of German cities simply for the sake of increasing the terror, though under other pretexts, should be reviewed. Otherwise we shall come into control of an utterly ruined land? The destruction of Dresden remains a serious query against the conduct of Allied bombing. I am of the opinion that military objectives must henceforward be more strictly studied in our own interests than that of the enemy.
The Foreign Secretary has spoken to me on this subject, and I feel the need for more precise concentration upon military objectives such as oil and communications behind the immediate battle-zone, rather than on mere acts of terror and wanton destruction, however impressive. ? Churchill in a telegraph to British Chiefs of Staff

See, Churchill and his jewish buddies knew this was nothing more than a terrorist attack of massive proportions. Instead of showing any remorse, he says we should look at it from a point of their own (jewish) interests, which sounds a lot like the kind of rhetoric spewed by jewish leaders in Israel as they slaughter Palestinian women and children for fun and sport today. Note the last part about ?mere acts of terror and wanton destruction?, which fully describes what happened in Dresden. Also note ?however impressive? those things are to this jew, because death and destruction is always impressive to jews, unless it?s their own death. Then they will do anything to avoid it.



Would you enjoy cremating the bodies of your friends, neighbors, women, and children like these people had to do? America is not immune to the devastation wrought on people?s by the jew. Watch what happens as the usefulness of America slowly wears out. This will be you one day.

As we sit on the brink of world war three, I think it only fitting that Americans, and many other people who never experienced the terror of war up close and personal, take a good look at what happened before, because we can almost certainly expect the same kind of treatment to continue. If you think this was bad, don?t forget they did almost the same thing to Hamburg. Then they also nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki, slaughtering hundreds of thousands of people in more ?burnt offerings?.
What you need to ask yourself is, do you want to see the kind of carnage people experienced in Dresden? Do you want to watch your neighbors running down the street screaming with their hair on fire, as tornadoes with flames like a torch singe your women and children in an instant? Would you like to scoop up puddles of mush, knowing those were once your neighbors? This kind of terror is still being rained down on people by our military, just like before, but you can rest assured America is not immune to the jew. It has a serious fatal infection just like Germany did, and only one kind of medicine can cure it. That deadly infection is the jew, and the medicine is the gun.
