You're bringing a video on here that has a white supremacist background. There are other, more credible sources to debate the fire-bombing of German cities. The 'Hellstorm' source is like saying 'Heil Hitler!' in your subject line. Sorry.
Edit to add a more credible source about that part of WWII:

Dresden was small compared to what happened in those concentration camps.

(46,328 posts)It was war, total war.
Dresden was a target, since it had a major rail yard.
And they didn't have smart weapons, for the most part.
So they had to drop tons and tons of bombs all over, hoping they'd hit the target.
Nazi Germany itself was still far from "finished," just look at what happened in the battle of Berlin, months later.
Dresden won't be repeated, nor will Hiroshima.
