Quote:Serious scientists estimate the total number of victims who died in the bombing of dresden to be ~40,000. That 135,000 stuff definately is nothing more than propaganda. Propaganda that many people like to believe recently.
Either you've been duped by the revisionists yourself, or you're lying. I've read dozens of books on WW2 big picture, and more than that specialized, couple of which were specifically on the topic of the airwar, and the 135k estimate tends to be on the low side. Some go up to 250k when including "nonimmediate" deaths.
Since you put forth so radical a claim, I'd like to hear the names of these "serious scientists".
There are many things I tend to think I know more of than I actually do, but WW2 is not one of them. Frankly I'm a bit outraged by that number you proposed, as it feels like that very same revisionism you were ready to lump the bulk of WW2 historians in.
<edit: Further on the same post I quoted from, you still insist Dresden was to break the morale of Germans. I take it you ignore the reality of the situation as was explained by myself and another poster or two previously. Is it so hard to accept, that the "good guys" have their own skeletons in their closets?>
