- Greatest Single Act Of Barbarism In History
-
- The only true Holocaust, death by fire, is the
unforgivable and militarily completely unnecessary raid on
Dresden. The blood was, at
least partly, on Britain's hands.
-
- The Dresden Holocaust
was committed not by the awful Nazis, nor even by brutal Reds,
but by the so-called democratic, freedom-loving allies,
Britain and the USA.

One Of The Greatest Cultural Centers Of Europe
Sixty-four years ago, on the evening of February 13, 1945, an
orgy of genocide and barbarism began against a defenceless
German city, famed as one of the greatest cultural centres of
Europe.

14 Hours Of Terror
Within less than 14 hours, not only was this city reduced to
flaming ruins but an estimated quarter of its inhabitants,
estimates range from 125,000 up to 300,000, had perished in what
was one of the worst massacres of all time.

Dresden Was Considered An Open
City
Toward the end of World War II, as Allied planes rained death
and destruction over Germany, the old Saxon city of
Dresden lay like an island of
tranquility amid an ocean of desolation. Famous mainly for its art
and Baroque architecture and possessing no military value,
Dresden had been spared the
terror that descended from the skies over the rest of the
country.
The ancient city of artists and craftsmen didn't have any
anti-aircraft defences. A gentleman's agreement seemed to prevail,
designating Dresden an 'open
city'

Germans Fleeing Stalin's Bolsheviks Flooded
Dresden
For months the flood of refugees fleeing the Red Army, just 60
miles away, had swollen the city's population to well over a
million. With them came accounts of Soviet horrors and atrocities,
but Dresden topped it all.

Children Were At A Circus Just Hours Before
However, the people felt relatively safe; and although the
mood was grim, the circus played to a full house that night as
thousands came to forget for a moment the horrors of war. Bands
of little girls paraded about in carnival dress in an effort to
bolster waning spirits. Half-sad smiles greeted the laughing
girls, but spirits were lifted.

The 'Swedish Jew'
No one realized that in less than 24 hours many of those same
innocent children would die screaming in Churchill's firestorm.
Everyone knew the Russian Bolsheviks were savages, but they
felt that Britain and America were civilized. If they had
considered that Eisenhower, Churchill, and Roosevelt had
Jewish blood, they would see the
terrible revenge coming.

Roosevelt Wanted Dresden
Obliterated
So, when those first alarms signalled the start of 14 hours of
hell, Dresden's people streamed dutifully into their shelters. But
they did so without much enthusiasm, believing the alarms to be
false, since their city had never been threatened from the air.
Many would never come out alive, for the revenge of Solomon was
at hand.

Political Motives
- What where Churchill's motives? They appear to have been
political rather than military. Historians unanimously agree
that Dresden had no military
value whatsoever. What industry it did have produced only
cigarettes and china. But the Yalta Conference was coming up, in
which the Soviets and their Western allies would sit down like
ghouls to carve up the shattered corpse of Europe.

The Firestorm
Dresden's citizens barely had time to reach their shelters. The
first bomb fell at 10:09 pm. The attack lasted 24 minutes, leaving
the inner city a raging sea of fire. Precision saturation bombing
had created the desired firestorm. A firestorm is caused when
hundreds of smaller fires join in one vast conflagration.
Tornado-Like Winds
Huge masses of air are sucked in to feed the inferno, causing
an artificial tornado. Those persons unlucky enough to be caught
in the rush of wind are hurled down entire streets into the
flames. Those who seek refuge underground often suffocate, as
oxygen is pulled from the air to feed the blaze, or they perish in
a blast of white heat - heat intense enough to melt human flesh.
|

Cut Down In The Streets
One eyewitness who survived told of seeing "young women
carrying babies running up and down the streets, their dresses and
hair on fire, screaming until they fell down, or the collapsing
buildings fell on top of them."
The Pause
There was a three-hour pause between the first and second
raids. The lull had been calculated to lure civilians from their
shelters into the open again. To escape the flames, tens of
thousands of civilians had crowded into the
Grosser Garten, a magnificent
park nearly one and a half miles square. The second raid came at
1:22 a.m., with no warning. Twice as many bombers returned, with a
massive load of incendiary bombs. The second wave was designed to
spread the raging firestorm into the Grosser Garten.

150 MPH Winds
It was a complete 'success'. Within a few minutes, a sheet of
flame ripped across the grass, uprooting trees and littering the
branches of others with everything from bicycles to human
limbs. At the start of the second air assault, many were still
huddled in tunnels and cellars, waiting for the fires of the
first attack to die down.
At 1:30 am an ominous rumble reached the ears of the commander
of a Labour Service convoy sent into the city on a rescue
mission.
He described it this way: "The detonation shook the cellar
walls. The sound of the explosions mingled with a new, stranger
sound which seemed to come closer and closer, the sound of a
thundering waterfall; it was the sound of the mighty tornado
howling in the inner city
|
Melting Human Flesh
Others, hiding below ground, died. But they died
painlessly. They simply glowed bright orange and blue in the
darkness. As the heat intensified, they either disintegrated
into cinders or melted into a thick liquid often three or
four feet deep in spots.
On February 14th, the Americans flew the last raid swept
over the city. Their bombers pounded the rubble that had
been Dresden for a steady
38 minutes with cold-blooded ruthlessness.

The Next Morning
US Mustangs appeared low over the city, strafing anything
that moved, including a column of rescue vehicles rushing to the
city to evacuate survivors. One strafing assault/massacre was
aimed at the banks of the Elbe River, where refugees had huddled
during the horrible night.
Dresden had become a hospital
town, and nurses brought the wounded to Elbe river. The
low-flying Mustangs machine-gunned those helpless patients, as
well as thousands of old men, women and children who had escaped
the city inferno.

125,000 Dead
When the last plane left the sky,
Dresden was a scorched ruin, its blackened streets filled
with corpses. A flock of vultures escaped from the zoo and
fattened on the carnage. Rats swarmed over the piles of the dead.
A Swiss citizen described his visit to
Dresden two weeks after the raid: "I could see torn-off
arms and legs, mutilated torsos and heads which had been wrenched
from their bodies and rolled away."

Henry Morgenthau
Allied apologists compared Dresden to Coventry, where a mere
380 died.
Coventry was a centre of the motor and munitions industries
and definitely a legitimate military target. Dresden, on the
other hand, produced nothing in those categories.
As a comparison with the London Blitz - which we all
acknowledge was bad and did demonstrate the bravery of the
people of London - it should still be considered in the light
of the destruction visited upon Dresden. In just one night,
16,000 acres of land were destroyed in the Dresden massacre,
whereas London escaped with damage to only 600 acres during
the entire war.

- Hollywood Won't Touch This Subject
If ever there was a war crime, then certainly the
Dresden Holocaust ranks as one of
the most sordid of all time.
Yet there are no movies made today condemning this fiendish
slaughter; nor did any Allied airman - or Sir Winston - sit in the
dock at Nuremberg.

|
|
Who Ordered It ?
The official story is that Churchill ordered the
Dresden slaughter to appease
Stalin. The cold-blooded sadism of the massacre, however, is
brushed aside by Churchill's biographers, a madman who order a
slaughter of many thousands of innocent civilians.

The Warsaw Ghetto Was The
Reason
Jews started WWII, but sat it out in their comfy ghettos.
When Hitler needed manpower for his armament machine, he
dragged the Polish Jews out of their ghettos.

The War Didn't Effect
Their Ghettos
It should be noted that years before the publication of
Hitler’s War, Irving
had already raised the possibility that Jewish pressure
had been one of the main factors behind the Allied
decision to bomb and devastate German cities. In 1961,
during his research "into the causation of the bombing of
Dresden,"
Irving wrote provocative letters concerning alleged Jewish
involvement in this operation to the curator of the Wiener
Library.

Wealthy Jews Sat Out The War In Their Country
Estates
They visited Paris, Switzerland, Italy or wherever the
war wasn't.

The Supposed 'Ghetto'
The area comprised 35% of Warsaw, was no slum and
actually featured rather high-priced shops.
|
|
|
The War Didn't Include Them
The Jewish population refused to serve in the
Polish army and when Germans occupied Warsaw they
participated in Fifth Column and Black Marketeering
activities.

World Jewish Congress
Based on dubious German testimony, Irving requested
confirmation of the claim that the World Jewish Congress had
demanded the liquidation of Dresden
in reprisal for the crushing of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising and the
destruction of the ghetto

Actual Testimony
February 13/14 1945: Dresden was a hospital city for
wounded soldiers. Together with the 600.000 refugees from
Breslau, Dresden was filled with nearly 1.2 million people.
More than 700.000 phosphorus bombs were dropped on 1.2 million
people. One bomb for every 2 people. The temperature in the
centre of the city reached 1600 centigrade.
But those who perished in the centre of the city can't be
traced, their ashes were gone with the winds of fire.
Approximately 125.000 children, women, the elderly, wounded
soldiers and the animals of the zoo were eradicated in only
one night.
