And Dresden was necessary to break the will of the Germans.

Assuming the allies had chosen not to bomb Dresden, do you really think the "will" of the Germans would have been sustained (and even if sustained, made any tangible difference) after this:



Hindsight is 20/20 and all, but, in retrospect, the only difference not bombing Dresden makes is that a few thousand German civilians survive 1945.

One of the greatest photographs ever.
