Thanks much for the post.

IIRC Le May had made the bombers remove all guns and ammunition and had then bombing at about 5 - 6,000 feet and not the 12,000 mentioned.

I believe that was for the fire bombing of Tokyo and other cities in March of 1945. It was mentioned briefly in the film.

Yeah I heard them mention March but I believe the massive fire bombing actually took place in April. At any rate killed more than either A bomb.

Warthogg, You are correct. This type of bombing using fire bombs killed more civilians than the nukes. A lot more!!! However, all we hear from the left is " USA used nukes and is evil" The fire bombing killed far more civilians than the nukes!!!

The city officials of Dresdenin 1944 concluded that it was 25,000 killed in the raid. This was reconfirmed in a study done in 2010 by the city officials.

As was I.

I was poking around found this:


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