Topic: Dresden bombing, Britain's forgotten war crime of WWII | |
---|---|
While Britain claims to be an advocate of human rights in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and many other countries around the world, British history itself is corroborating evidence that Britain, the greatest human rights preacher, has also been the most flagrant human rights breacher.
More than 500,000 German civilians and refugees, mostly women and children, were slaughtered by Britain's saturation bombing in 1945, one of the worst massacres of all time. Over 700,000 phosphorus bombs were dropped on 1.2 million defenseless inhabitants of German city Dresden under Britain's then Prime Minister Winston Churchill's order, which not only reduced one of the greatest centers of northern Europe to flaming ruins, but also led to one of the worst war crimes of the Second World War. Dresden's bombing in February, 13, 1945 was so relentless that some historians believe it was the height of Winston Churchill's madness. "I do not want suggestions as to how we can disable the economy and the machinery of war, what I want are suggestions as to how we can roast the German refugees on their escape from Breslau," Churchill said once. Toward the end of the war, Churchill's desired firestorm was finally created. More than 260,000 bodies and residues of bodies were counted after British Royal Air Force (RAF) and the United States Army Air Force (USAAF) assaulted Dresden. However, those who perished in the centre of the city could not be traced, as the temperature in the area reached 1600 degree Centigrade. Dresden's citizens barely had time to reach their shelters and those who sought refuge underground often suffocated as oxygen was pulled from the air to feed the flames. Others perish in a blast of white heat, heat strong enough to melt human flesh. When the bombing started, no one could imagine that in less than 24 hours all those innocent people could die screaming in Churchill's firestorms. If there was a war crime, certainly the Dresden tragedy would rank as one of the most sinister of all time. Sadly, however, Churchill, who ordered the slaughter of up to a half million innocent people in this horrifying tragedy, was knighted by Britain's Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. The British queen made Churchill a knight of the Order of the Garter, Britain's highest order of knighthood. |

Either Brits or Germans die. Churchill was hoping the Germans would over throw Hitler.
Same thing with Hiroshima and Nakasaki. They were bombed to save American soldiers lives. War crimes? All war is a crime. Churchill a madman? You dam right. He was the good one, the bad one was in Berlin. |

Dresden is usually brought up by Judicial and other Revisionists to justify German Atrocities before and during WWII!
It was a sad chapter of WWII,but so were Warsaw,and other European Cities bombed by Stukas! Coventry,London,and all the Russian Cities leveled by the German Airforce! The whole goddamn War was Insanity! |

Enolo Gay, does that ring any bells. people in glass houses You are more than right, it wasn't just the Brits that was responsible for Dresden, the US was in it neck deep. But Japan, that was the US alone. And while it was and still is a tragedy, it did save more lives than it cost. That is no excuse for what happened but sadly is the price of war. However what never seems to be learned is that war in and of itself is but a travesty of government and it is always the civilian populace that pays the price. Hey, I have a great idea for war. We take 100 combatants from the two sides, put them into a large deserted area and let them go out. The side that survives is the winner. We buy them a beer and pat them on the back and declare the incident resolved, forever. And to pay the expenses, it could be a reality TV program for the sheeple. Entertainment and saves the taxpayers a bundle. Probably piss the bankers off though, all those lost profits. |

I would agree with you, good decision from that standpoint, a travesty for the ones that had to experience that nightmare. But the sad nature of man is we refuse to learn, even when it's our children that are sent to support some corporate agenda. And we even turn around and call it freedom, what freedom. Let's use the real name, population control for the masses. |
