While it never hurts to learn new things we always need to understand what it is we are learning, and while Jeff puts across a good point I would support it by saying that during the period 1939-1945 the total number of civilians killed in great Britain due to enemy action was 60,595 seriously injured 86,182 slightly injured 150,833 treated at first aid posts and mobile first aid units 165,743.So while I accept Dresden and any other raid that killed any civilian was a terrible part of the war please dont make the Germans, sound like they had it worse than anyone else.
