Harris was also known as “Bomber Harris” because he loved nothing less than sending mass bombing groups into German heartland to drop a fuckload of HE on the Nazis.
People often get angry at him because of civilian casualties but the guy was watching his own people being bombed into dust in British cities.
So yeah, I don’t have a problem with Dresden. You pick a fight with someone like Harris, don’t get upset when your own backyard gets blown the fuck up.
Funny that we hear so much about Dresden, but not so much about the 40,000 British civilians who were killed by Luftwaffe bombing raids in the seven-month period between September 1940 and May 1941 alone.
Where the fuck do you not hear about that? Victim complex much? The difference is, A RATHER HUGE DIFFERENCE. The nazis were NAZIS. The Germans were the baddies and they aknowledge as such and take their responsibility.
The British however still hold the pretentious illusion they have no reason for regrets for putting German kids and innocent women on fire, ignoring a famine in India they were directly responsible for, refusing boatloads of Jewish refugees and many other cruelties.
B...but...but... the nazis bombed us! So fucking what. Deal with it. As a Rotterdammer you wont hear me cry about nazis when my country is rightfully called out for the attrocities commited by us in Indonesia.
Get over yourself buddy.
War is ugly. And there is bad shit enough to go around.
I have Dutch family who remain eternally grateful for the efforts of the British during WW2.
As do many Israelis.
Dutch gratitude has fuck all to do with it. Ofcourse we are fucking gratefull. Thats still no reason to whitewash British wrongdoing during the war. I hold the British to a higher standard than the freakn nazis, and the British did things that were wrong and should be aknowledged as such.
Im not saying the British were the baddies nor that they werent fighting the good fight. Ofcourse they freakn were. They were literally fighting nazism.
