Dresden Holocaust 70th Anniversary gets usual whitewash, especially from the perpetrators

The old Dresden. It does not look like this today, even after being "rebuilt." The essence is gone, leaving it mainly a tourist destination rather than a place for Germans to enjoy.

On this 70 year remembrance of the destruction of Dresden, the incomparable cultural city of Europe and a German treasure, remembering the hellish inferno that burnt to death up to 200,000 undefended civilians whose "crime" was to live in Adolf Hitler's Third Reich, I feel compelled to acknowledge publicly that my anger and disgust goes mainly toward the British.

A nation that can lie to itself, in order to keep lying to the rest of the world, and feel sincere about it, as the British do, deserves no respect. This includes the British decendants in Canada, the US, Australia, wherever they may be.

And well, I must also include the German traitors, prime among whom is President Gauck who is in Dresden today remembering the Jews, some of whom also died in Dresden. An appalling spectacle he makes of himself wherever he goes.

Two years ago, for this anniversary, the British Broadcasting Corporation managed somehow to publish the remembrance of an British man who was there during the 2 days of bombing and relates his experience. One has to wonder what they may have left out, but what is there is more acknowlegement of the criminal intent of the British and Americans than we usually get to see. Please listen to the words of Victor Gregg, former soldier in the 10th Parachute Brigade who was a POW near Dresden at the time.

Another fairly good article is this interview with Eberhard Renner who lived in Dresden as a 12 yr-old schoolboy at the time.

DRESDEN, Germany (AP) — Soviet troops were pressing into Germany from the east and the other Allies from the west, but for 12-year-old schoolboy Eberhard Renner (at right, in front of the rebuilt Frauenkirche) the war seemed far away.

Dresden had been spared the destruction suffered by other cities like Berlin and Hamburg, and Renner clung to the hope that the Saxon capital would stay off the target list with the war so clearly near its end.

Even as air-raid sirens started screaming 70 years ago Friday, Renner's father dismissed the attack as another reconnaissance mission.

Then the bomb fell into Renner's backyard. It blew the thick oak door off the shelter where the family had taken refuge, slamming him and his mother to the ground. Somebody yelled that the roof was on fire, and they ventured out into the streets as the bombs rained down.

The Allied decision to firebomb Dresden — immortalized in Kurt Vonnegut's novel "Slaughterhouse Five" — has long been a source of controversy.

At the time, the Allies hoped the attack on a city deep in the German heartland would hit hard at civilian morale and help force the Nazis to capitulate. Some historians, however, said the destruction was a tragic waste of human life and cultural patrimony — with little to no effect on the outcome of the war. [This Allied "justification" is nothing but that and it is not the way even halfway decent men wage war. To vindicate themselves, the British population in large numbers must DEMAND that their government acknowledge its War Crimes as such. -cy]

The raid left the city littered with corpses, and tens of thousands of Dresden's buildings had been turned to rubble, including its famous opera house and museums in the historic old city. The baroque Church of Our Lady, appeared initially to have survived, but, weakened by the intense heat, it collapsed two days after the bombing under its own weight.

As Renner wandered the streets of Dresden, he saw a dead body for the first time in his life. In the days to come, he would see many more. Renner remembers the streets still being littered with bodies a week after the attack and coming across the corpse of a woman in a square.

"She was burned to a cinder, had become very small, but her hand was held up and on it was her gold wedding band, shining, not blackened at all," said the 82-year-old retired architecture professor. "I will never forget this scene."

It was not just the bombs dropped by the waves of British and U.S. bombers that wreaked devastation. The fire made superheated air rise rapidly, creating a vacuum at ground level that produced winds strong enough to uproot trees and suck people into the flames. Many Dresden residents died of collapsed lungs.

Renner's family made it safely to the home of one of his dentist father's patients. They were able to stay the night and regroup. After that they moved in with an uncle.

Nazi propaganda from 1945 put the death toll at 200,000 and after the war some scholars estimated as many as 135,000 were killed — more than the combined total of those immediately killed by the nuclear blasts in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. ~

[This was a real holocaust. So as not to compete with the fake "holocaust" of the Jews, the deniers of the Dresden holocaust have revised the number of dead down as far as they could get away with. How is “Nazi” propaganda different from Allied propaganda? Answer: it's more honest.

Consider that the number of Jews who died in concentration camps was 300,000, and honest reporting gives the total Germans burnt to death in Dresden as 200,000; add the rest of the fire-bombed cities in Germany by mainly the British, and you have the reality of a German Holocaust, not a Jewish one. -cy]
