Dresden Holocaust
Slaughter Of 500,000 German Civilians
|
- Greatest Single Act Of Barbarism In History
-
- The only true Holocaust, death by fire, is the unforgivable
raid on Dresden. And 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-Two years ago, on the evening of February 13, 1945, an
orgy of genocide and barbarism began against a defenceless German
city, one of the greatest cultural centres of Europe began.

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,
possibly as many as a half of a million, 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 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 firestorms.
Everyone knew the Russian Bolsheviks were savages, but they felt
that Britain and America, were civilized. If they 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 signaled 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 whatever. 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 p.m. 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 a.m. 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.

500,000 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.
The 500,000 death toll was staggering, considering Hiroshima was
estimated at 90,000.

Henry Morgenthau
Allied apologists compared Dresden to Coventry, where 380
died. Coventry was a centre of the motor and munitions industries,
a legitimate military target. Dresden, on the other hand, produced
nothing in those categories.
As a comparison with the London Blitz - which I acknowledge
was bad and showed the bravery of the London people, 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 The 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 version is 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 a half million people.

The
Warsaw Ghetto Was The Reason
Jews started WW-2,
but sat it out in their comfy ghettos. When Hitler need 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.

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
