<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Texas John, post: 1153071, member: 25813&quot;]It&#039;s no surprise that British and American bombers destroyed Dresden. It&#039;s historical fact. It&#039;s also fact that they acted upon a Soviet request to attack Dresden, ostensibly for tactical reasons. Likewise, it&#039;s a fact that RAF crews queried the order, because they could not see a good tactical reason to execute it. Being faithful warriors, they carried it out anyway once their query was rejected.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the end, the destruction of Dresden was carried out at the behest of the Soviets, and for reasons best known to Joseph Stalin himself. That the DDR later excoriated it as a capitalist crime is ironic, to say the least.</p><p><br /></p><p>But then history is filled with ironies, as is life itself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
