On February 13 and 14, 1945, three successive waves of British and U.S. aircraft rained down thousands of tons of high explosive and incendiary bombs on the largely undefended German city of Dresden. Night and day, Dresden was engulfed in a vast sea of flame, a firestorm that generated 1,500-degree temperatures and hurricane-force winds. Thousands suffocated in underground shelters where they had fled to escape the inferno above. The fierce winds pulled thousands more into the center of the firestorm, where they were incinerated. By the time the fires burned themselves out, many days later, a great city, known as “the Florence on the Elbe”, lay in ruins, and tens of thousands, almost all of them civilians, lay dead.
In Firestorm, Marshall De Bruhl re-creates the drama and horror of the Dresden bombing and offers the most cogent appraisal yet of the tactics, weapons, strategy, and rationale for the controversial attack. Using new research and contemporary reports, as well as eyewitness stories of the devastation, De Bruhl directly addresses many long-unresolved questions relating to the bombing: Why did the strike occur when the Allies’ victory was seemingly so imminent? Was choosing a city choked with German refugees a punitive decision, intended to humiliate a nation? What, if any, strategic importance did Dresden have? How much did the desire to send a “message” to Imperial Japan, or the advancing Soviet armies, factor into the decision to firebomb the city?

Funny that the comments on an Adolf Hitler bio that follows the same old tired “Mad man, evil, crazy” narrative gets myriad comments, whereas a factual history of one of the ALLies greatest atrocities during WWII gets nada!
How well the Frankfurt School and it`s education system has trained the minds of simple folk.
Hence Europe teeters on the brink of destruction.
There was only one winner of WWII and figuring that out sets you on the path to, at the very least, understanding, at best enlightenment regards the modern world today!
Thank you for this upload.
For those whom it may interest, there is also a video entitled Hellstorm which you may find on line, as well as a book by Thomas Goodrich.
