The Germans have yet to recognize Harris as a hero. Instead of
commemorating the „victims“ of Dresden - actually perpetrators -, they
should be commemorating Harris and the soldiers who gave their lives to
liberate Europe from German insanity.
Harris and the soldiers were fundamental for winning the war - without
them, I‘d very likely not have had the privilege of growing up in a
liberal environment. Unfortunately many germans didn’t get the memo and
instead rejoice in playing the victim - very similar to how the
fakestinians btw; they should be happy about Israel doing everything to
destroy Hamas, instead they shill for Hamas and play victim.

main point is that if the Dresden raid was a war crime, the UK and the
USA are equally guilty, as both participated.

Yes. A valid point.

It's worth mentioning too that in 1940 during the German invasion of
France and the Low Countries, it remained British policy to fly by day
using light/medium bombers and to attack only military targets. The
result was an absolute slaughter of Blenheims, Hampdens, Wellingtons and
Battles, with little or no damage to the Wehrmacht.

Thanks for the info, interesting to know. If the allies had fought a war
according to the utopian standard - „no dead civilians“ - Herman and Ray
etc want from Israel, they very likely wouldn’t have won the war.
Fortunately the allies valued the lives of their soldiers over that of
the Nazis and their sympathizers.
