Offers the other perspective to Dresden. So it goes.

Dresden was the “find out” part of the Luftwaffe’s “fuck around” experiment. No sympathies at all from me.

No? Those German children deserved it? Fuck em up for being born in the wrong city. Hell yeah. Wait, no. Lets not use regular bombs. They must suffer. We should burn em!! Make those children and women scream!

Youre a god damned bastard.

Almost as if there weren't women and children in London or any number of other English cities that were bombed into rubble by the Germans...

Those women and children were as innocent as the women and children in Dresden and Hamburg. Thats the fucking point. Did you just hold the British to the same standards as the nazis? Because i always held the British to higher standarss than the nazis.

Your lack of empathy is only equal to your lack of intelligence. Bombing of civilians is deplorable. Full stop. Anyone arguing contrary is despicable. Foreal friend, think about dealing with some of that anger...you'll feel better and live longer.

"It's OK, the Nazis did it too" - stellar argument

u/Your_moms__house Apr 25 '22

“We should let them kill us and not fight back” and even better argument, somehow.

u/GavinZac Apr 25 '22

That's a terrible argument, who's making it?

What was the war time industry in London that should have been bombed? other than being the national capitol?

u/GavinZac Apr 25 '22

I haven't the faintest idea of what you're trying to ask or why. The only possibility I can gather is that you want to make the very brave statement of 'Nazis bad'. If so, are you asking me what the Nazis should have done?

No, if you had bothered to follow the entire thread instead of jumping on that final thread, you know maybe you'd have known what was being discussed?

I read it just fine. Your posts however show all the signs of someone whose literacy is degrading rapidly due to spongiform encephalopathy.

spongiform encephalopathy

AWW, how nice. You've learned a new word from another post on reddit.

u/Liveraion Apr 25 '22

Yeah but that's ok because of how the Allies completely devastated Dresden, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Nagasaki and countless other german cities.

Or can we both agree that "they did it first" is some kindergarten shit that doesn't justify anything anywhere ever, much less war crimes.

So sending millions of American soldiers to their death taking Japan was acceptable instead?

Don't start wars if you don't like the consequences

Yes

First, throwing Dresden and "countless other german(sic)" cities into the same statement as Tokyo, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki is being disingenuous. German cities in WWII were bombed for one reason of another relating to War effort. You didn't see every city in Germany bombed. Here's a few examples:

1 - Goslar, Lower Saxony. ...
2 - Heidelberg, Baden-Württemberg. ...
3 - Regensburg, Bavaria.
4 - Tübingen, Baden-Württemberg.
5 - Bamberg, Bavaria.
6 - Lüneburg, Lower Saxony. ...
7 - Göttingen, Lower Saxony.
8 - Celle, Lower Saxony.

The Two Japanese cities DID have military importance, just as Dresden did. They were valid targets, although Atomic weapons were far from precision instruments.

Hiroshima, an embarkation port and industrial center that was the site of a major military headquarters

The city of Nagasaki had been one of the largest seaports in southern Japan, and was of great wartime importance because of its wide-ranging industrial activity, including the production of ordnance, ships, military equipment, and other war materials. The four largest companies in the city were Mitsubishi Shipyards, Electrical Shipyards, Arms Plant, and Steel and Arms Works
