How many people really died in the Dresden firebombing, and was it justifiable? If Dresden had 600k inhabitants, and the city was turned ti rubble, shouldn't it be more than 25k dead?
I'm not trying to start a flamewar, I'm just trying to have a peaceful discussion.

>850 000 bombs+a firestorm
>25 000 dead

Sumfin ain't right

oy vey 6 million innocent germans died!

Serious discussion please. Do you mean that 25000 died?

See, by this point civil defense and bomb shelters were fairly good.

~30,000 dead is pretty realistic.

This was true during the blitz too, where like 25 houses would be destroyed for every one Briton killed.

about twenty five thousand
yes it was justifiable
the entire city was not turned into rubble
you are not just trying to have a peaceful discussion

OP.

Do NOT believe the neo-nazi lies.

It was conclusively proven that the number was NOT 250,000. This number was propaganda on an edited copy of the document which actually pinpointed the death toll at 25,000. There exists even a handwritten copy of the original by the man who wrote it himself which states 25,000.

David Irving himself redacted his previous claims after this was found out.

600,000 inhabitants in 1939 you fucking retard, the bombings were in 1945.

>Not trying to start a flame war
>Talks about the Dresden Firebombing

Was that intentional?

hmmmmmmmmmmm

>the entire city was not turned into rubble
l m a o

>people

They were only Germans.

shoo shoo eternal anglo

But wouldn't the people in the shelters suffocate because of the firestorm consuming all oxygen?

>start two wars
>get wrecked in both

It must be hard for a g*rm to live with the shame of being pwnt twice in a row by such inferior Jew-loving Anglos.

>was it justifiable?

The reason it was bombed was to destroy the train station but it surived the bombing and was used afterwards. The bombing was a joke and the closest British people got to acting like niggers.

Who care if it was justifiable, only 25k people died, on the list of bad shit that happened during WWII it ranks pretty goddamn low. People only care about it because Goebbels shilled it hard in his propaganda.

>they lied about the holocaust
>implying they're not lying about Dresden
>people believing "official" estimates over German estimates

is it wishful thinking or what?
>implying they weren't capable of it
>over 200k died from Hiroshima and Nagasaki
>Brits and Americans openly calling for eradication of German people

yeah hurr it's us neo nazis making us up. look at OP's image alone that must be the entire (((official))) death toll all by its self. also keep in mind Dresden was a neutral city and had very light AA, the allies were free to do as they wished.

>promote ideology that glorifies strength
>lose the only war you fight

The eternal G*rm strikes again!

>over 200k died from Hiroshima and Nagasaki
If two nukes were able to kill 200k, I'd say the official estimates for Dresden seem pretty accurate

>Brits and Americans openly calling for eradication of German people
kek where is the proof

> look at OP's image alone that must be the entire (((official))) death toll all by its self
Baseless conjecture

>Dresden was a neutral city
What did he mean by this?

>Krauts commit massive atrocities wherever they go
>Surprised when the Allies fight back

Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind, stormfag.

Bear in mind that the Japs didn't have the huge network of shelters that late-war Dresden had.

Some of them would.

A lot of them wouldn't.

25,000 dead in a night in and of itself is a huge number, especially when you consider all the measures the Germans took to protect their population from strategic bombing.

the kikes on this board are multiplying

You have to go back.

funny how this board is very "objective" except one it comes to Nazi Germany, then all objectivity goes out the window

Yeah funny how we'd treat nazi propaganda with the derision it deserves, just like we do with the propaganda of gommies and godfags. I bet the Jews are behind it somehow..

>believing Goebbel's figures, literally the propaganda minister rather than the figures of the city council

KILL YOURSELF

Neo nazis...When will they learn?

you could make that image with Napoleon & Alexander the Great too.

who makes this crap? legit who goes through the effort?

>implying Macedon didn't remain the hegemon in Greece until the Romans showed up
>what are the Antigonids
>stormfag doesn't know anything about history

>attempting to find objective truth amidst WW2 propaganda is "neo-nazism"
are you even trying? you sound like satire

Except France didn't lose like a third of their territory and get the ethnic French kicked out of it. Likewise for Greeks, who in fact kept the territory (albeit divided) after Alexander died.

Walloons are still living happily in Belgium. The same cannot be said for East Prussians.

Objective truth straight outta Reich's propaganda ministry?

sure thing bud

>"""objective""" """truth"""
It sounds suspiciously like neo-nazi propaganda for objective truth.

Not to mention the guy who posted it admitted to being a neo-nazi.

>no caps
>poor English

OH SHIT WE'VE GOT AN EASTERN YURO ON OUR HANDS

What's the matter, can't post on /pol/ any more without getting made fun of since they added the flags?

>because the Allies made a claim it's true by default! if the Nazis made a claim it's false by default!
Veeky Forums folks, historically "objective", on everything except ww2

I'm loling so hard at the dedication here, almost like it's paid?? How long can we keep it up?

>Nazi apologism is objective fact
>Mainstream historical consensus is allied propaganda.

It's not trolling if you're the one who gets mad.

LISTEN HERE YOU FUCKING RETARDS

THE ALLIED FIGURE IS BASED ON THE ACTUAL CITY RECORDS YOU DUMB FUCKS

dresden.de/media/pdf/infoblaetter/Historikerkommission_Dresden1945_Abschlussbericht_V1_14a.pdf

Well, the Allied claim it is supported by facts (). Nazi claims are supported by feefees.

Not to mention Nazis are notorious liars, so its obvious their claims won't hold much gravitas.

>believing the claim made by goebbels of 250,000 when they literally just added a 0 at the end to exaggerate the figure

I don't think any such topic on Veeky Forums evokes such numbers of people and quick response times, this is very interesting Veeky Forums's sudden interest on ww2 era history!!

Considering Operation Gomorrah dropped more tonnage in better weather against a city about 3 times the size and killed 68,000, yes 25k seems pretty reasonable.

Why is strategic bombing so cool.

It's not really murder if you're in an airplane.

Sure you're not confusing me with someone else? I'm not a neo-nazi

>this is very interesting Veeky Forums's sudden interest on ww2 era history!!
WW2 has always been one of the most talked about topics on Veeky Forums.

>Dresden was a neutral city

Did he died?

>Veeky Forums sudden interest in WW2
>implying there isnt at least one new WW2 thread posted every hour of every day since this board started

Newstormfags plz go.

Why did you bump this thread only to complain about it you retarded dipshit? I hate newfags so godamn much.

Didn't a s*rb start the first one?

Germany gave the black check to Austria and encouraged them to give impossible terms to Serbia.

Germany declared war on Russia when the Serbs accepted all but one of the terms and Austro-Hungary invaded them anyway.

Germany then demanded that the French abandon the strategic forts in the east of their country, and invaded them when they refused to do this.

Germany, in the process of invading France, invaded Belgium after previously signing a treaty promising to respect their neutrality. When confronted by British diplomats about this, the German diplomats replied that the treaty was nothing but a scrap of paper.

Later in the war, the Wilson administration in the US granted the Germans access to US diplomatic cables in an effort to encourage a negotiated settlement that would end the butchery in Europe.

The Germans used these cables to attempt to entice Mexico into a war with the US. The US public didn't even believe that this had happened until the Germany secretary of state admitted to sending the telegram.

"Everyone was equally guilty" is a meme by the anarchists, communists, and socialists that made WW2 possible.

If that counts as Germany starting WWI then WWII was started by Great Britain and France.

>"Everyone was equally guilty" is a meme by the anarchists, communists, and socialists that made WW2 possible.
There you're blame-shifting, too.

>was it justifiable?
Actually Dresden was a mass of munitions works, an intact government centre, and a key transportation point to the East. It is now none of these things.

>was it justifiable
It was total war. You do what you must to win.

>shouldn't it be more than 25k dead?
Not that many people actually died from the bombings. I'm from Leverkusen and due to all the Bayer chemical plants and industry being here during WW2 our town got bombed quite heavily (though not as bad as Dresden). Even still, barely anyone actually died from these bombings. I asked my grandma about this and there was only one person in her whole neighborhood who died from a bomb. There was an extensive air raid shelter system and while all the buildings got turned to rubble, the people themselves survived due to these shelters.

Also a lot of children in the cities were sent into the countryside to avoid getting bombed, so that's about 20% of the population leaving the cities and being unaffected by the bombs.

Good job bumping this near dead thread you stupid fucking Krautshit. Now I wish your whole family line died in the raid

...

Did your family die in a concentration camp or why are you so upset my friend?

> Dresden was a neutral city
> neutral
so, just like Coventry was?

No, just telling you that Veeky Forums doesn't care about you or anything to do with Germans at all. You're wasting your time here.

Clearly you care enough to keep bumping this thread with your asinine replies, instead of contributing to the threads that interest you and ignoring the ones you don't.

Oh yeah here's my contribution to this thread in the style of the average Veeky Forums user, no less Veeky Forums

l o l isn't this vid topkek?
