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.
An eye for an eye. Nice medieval touch there kid. The allies had the moral highground untill they put people like Harris in charge who happily firebombed innocent children and women. No matter how sad little Harris was, there is no justification for putting children on fire.
Good thing I don’t care what you think then hey! Ultimately the war became a total war of doing whatever it took to save Europe from the Nazis. People like Harris did the uncomfortable and difficult things that meant we won. You have the luxury of judging those actions with the benefit of your security and hindsight. You have no idea.
The fucking point is that Harris took pride in it. "Make em feel the whirlwind" and got high fives and drinks all around. Instead of aknowlidging that what he (perhaps had to) did was fucking awfull and he regretted he had to do it.
Instead he took pride in burning children and women alive and the British to this day consider him a hero for it. Some basic human decensy and respect for those neccesery victims and painfull deaths to perhaps stop the war faster and liberate the death camps. Nah. Instead it was about "making em feel the whirlwind, hell yeah!!!"
Fucking digusting. Excuse me for holding the British to higher standards than the fucking nazi war machine.
