Tomorrow feb 13 is 70th anniversary of the Dresden Holocaust

Life was cheap in WW2. Somehow intelligent people got the idea that killing civilians was a good way to get their crazy leaders to surrender. All it did was get civilians killed.

Not many leaders care about civilians and i'm sure the allies knew that. The thinking was to kill the civilians and they won't be able to work at war plants and manufacture ships and planes and guns. That doesn't seem to have worked either at least not with germany. It did work in america during the civil war when psychopath lincoln murdered civilians and razed cities.
 
Dresden was bombed, destroyed, how sad. It was most likely very hard to transport the Jews by train to the ovens after that.

Germany was beat but kept on killing, how could it be?
 
This helps point out how stupid people are to try fighting a war in 1940s from their armchair in 2015 after listening to lefty socialist journalists,who are equally dumb....

Dresden We Gave Three Hearty Cheers At The Time One Veteran PoW Tells Breitbart London - Breitbart


“The one big point”, 96 year old Dennis Brock tells me, “that the BBC failed to mention in their coverage of the anniversary of the Dresden bombings was just how important the City was to the Russians.”

L/Bdr Brock was one of the many Prisoners of War who were in labour camps near the industrial hub on the Eastern side of Germany which had largely been overlooked by Allied bombing runs until 1945. The Red Army was at Breslau, Poland and the only working railway centre for the Germans fighting the Russian front was in Dresden.

The former Lance Bombardier was working in a brick works, in charge of 45 men when the raids took place. As well as that factory, there were other crucial elements of the German war machine nearby.

“Dresden was alive with factories, all manned by forced Labour from the East, including making artillery shells,” says Mr Brock.

“In their coverage, the BBC didn’t emphasise how the City was the centre for the German war effort, including optical works for the Luftwaffe and tanks, all staffed by PoWs from Britain and the Empire as well as French and Italians.”

The soldiers, captured by the Nazis during the earlier war years and when Italy switched sides from the Axis, were all herded towards the industrial heart beat as the Allies advanced from the South, East and through France, Belgium and the Netherlands.
 
Democrat FDR said "I'm gonna fry me some krauts" and murdered somewhere around 100,000 people even though the war was essentially over.

On the evening of February 13, 1945, a series of Allied firebombing raids begins against the German city of Dresden, reducing the "Florence of the Elbe" to rubble and flames, and killing as many as 135,000 people. It was the single most destructive bombing of the war—including Hiroshima and Nagasaki—and all the more horrendous because little, if anything, was accomplished strategically, since the Germans were already on the verge of surrender.

Among the conclusions reached at the February 1945 Yalta Conference of the Allied powers was the resolution that the Allies would engage in concerted strategic bombing raids against German cities known for war-production and manufacturing, in an effort to bring the Nazi war machine to a crashing halt. The tragic irony of the raid on Dresden, a medieval city renowned for its rich artistic and architectural treasures, is that during the war it had never been a site of war-production or major industry. Both Allies and Germans alike have argued over the real purpose of the firebombing; the ostensible "official" rationale was that Dresden was a major communications center and bombing it would hamper the German ability to convey messages to its army, which was battling Soviet forces at the time. But the extent of the destruction was, for many, disproportionate to the stated strategic goal—many believe that the attack was simply an attempt to punish the Germans and weaken their morale.

you seem to be forgetting that Eisenhower was a murderer of them as well.

Like with Tokyo, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki, it was part weapons testing, and part coercing the Axis government to accept an unconditional surrender.
