by the Brits with the US doing more strategic bombing of the railroad. It's well-known that during the war, the Brits bombed at night and the US during the day for precision. Most importantly: no one really knows the exact strategy behind Dresden, so it's ridiculous to troll people on a message board 60 years later with moral superiority about whether they feel more remorse about it than you do. How can that be measured, anyway.
The most prevailing strategies about Dresden is that it was done to take out communication lines because it had been basically untouched during the war, take out the railroad because people were fleeing to Dresden, and break the will of the Germans into total surrender.
Again, it's ridiculous to try and shame people and play moral superiority games.
