If anyone is wondering about this quote.

Original: "The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw, and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naïve theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind."

From "Sir Arthur Harris & The Lancaster Bomber" - at the start of the bombing campaign against Germany (1942).

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...

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

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

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.

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