Revising Revisionism

clipped from hotair.com But the use of incendiary bombs on factories and railheads was not a war crime, nor was particularly controversial during that war, as the Germans had been dropping them on London for years by that point.  The Allies had a right to destroy the Nazi war production system, including in Dresden.  They had a limited number of options for bombing targets, and the intensity can reasonably be assigned to an accuracy that had eluded the Allies on their night bombing runs for most of the war. And let’s not forget that at the same time as the Allies raided Dresden, the Germans were launching rocket attacks with only marginal thoughts of accuracy against the British civilian centers.  If Hitler had the ability to create a Dresden in London, he would not have hesitated to wreak it. I give Der Spiegel credit for getting past the slogans and confronting history as it happened.  Be sure to read the entire interview.
