Dresden bombings

The Dresden bombings occurred in February 1945 during World War II, when Allied forces, primarily Britain and the United States, dropped大量 of bombs on the German city of Dresden. The aim was to weaken Germany’s war effort, but the attacks caused extensive destruction of buildings, infrastructure, and thousands of civilian lives. The bombings remain controversial due to the high civilian casualties and the city’s cultural significance. They exemplify the brutal, destructive nature of strategic bombing campaigns used in the war, raising ongoing debates about the morality and necessity of such tactics.
