Bombing of Dresden

The Bombing of Dresden occurred in February 1945 during World War II, when Allied forces, primarily Britain and the United States, conducted a series of air raids on the German city of Dresden. The attacks aimed to weaken German morale and disrupt supply lines. The bombings resulted in widespread destruction and significant civilian casualties, with estimates ranging from 25,000 to 35,000 deaths. The event remains controversial, as some argue it was a necessary military strategy, while others view it as an unnecessary loss of civilian life. It highlights the moral complexities of warfare and the impact of strategic bombings.
