How approximately 500,000 Germans were exterminated in one night

Quote:
The Germans would have to be angels and saints to forget and forgive all the injustices, atrocities and cruelties which they have suffered, twice in a generation, without any provocation, from the allies. Just imagine what would we, as Americans, do if we had been treated as we treated the Germans, our cruelty would have no limits in revenging our suffering! Reverend Ludwig A. Fritsch, Ph. D., D. D. emer., Chicago, 1948 [more]
Very very sad....

Oh, please...

A 'real holocaust'? As opposed to... ? I know that dog-whistle you're blowing...

Second-- even Goebbels only inflated the claimed death toll to 200,000. You're outdoing the Nazis by 150%... you must be so proud...

Anyway, modern fatality estimates generally range in the 2xxxx range. You're right, Dresden was a horror-- even with 20,000-some thousand dead. No reason to lie about the death toll.

Other life forms dispense with the pretense of civilization, and just hunt each other right out in the open.

Talk about an epic fail post.........I'm not sure which is more absurd, your casualty figure, or the quote regarding the poor, abused, innocent Germans!

World War II was the event where the entire planet went insane and didn't regain sensibility until after 60 million people had been killed. I suspect that none of the 60 million felt that they deserved to die.

The Germans who died in Dresden were just as innocent as those in the Twin Towers. Those of you who presume that the Americans on 9/11 were innocent and the German victims in Dresden were not, perfectly validate the sentiments that were capitalized by the OP.

But they hunt only to fulfill a survival need, not just for the fun of watching bodies burn alive. Which, by comparison, makes other life forms seem pretty civilized.

Innocent people die in war. It's a fact of life.

I have actually been to Dresden, just a few years ago. We got to see how some of the bombed out areas still haven't been rebuilt, even after all these years. You know what one of the tour guides said to us (she had actually survived the bombing)?

"The Nazis started the war, and it was inevitable that it came back to the German people."

There was no anti-Allie sentiment, or perception of the reverse guilt as generated by intellectuals here in the US.

OK , let me spell it out for you. I am referring to the quote in the first post, where the author bemoans the fate of poor Germany, which had, of course, NO possible responsibility for starting two world wars!
Where did I make ANY comment re: 9/11???????? Yes, many German civilians died in Dresden, Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, etc., etc., as did those in London, Rotterdam, Coventry, Belgrade, Warsaw, etc. Or, did you conveniently forget about them?
As "Bomber" Harris said" They sowed the wind, they will reap the whirlwind."
Any "presumption" here rests with you!

You already spelled it out, by referring to the idea of "innocent Germans" as being absurd. Those were your words, regardless of the quote you were referring to. They were women and children, and you denied their innocence.

You can wiggle all you want about your words, but you already made your sentiments perfectly clear.

OP, are you implying that the "other" holocaust is not real?
