And by the way...

Dresden was strategically important. Dresden had by 1945 become the main center of communications for the defense of Germany on the southern half of the Eastern front and it was considered that a heavy air attack would disorganize these communications and also make Dresden useless as a command and control center. The Germans had intended to use Dresden to reinforce their eastern front with up to 42 divisions, about half a million men in March, 1945. The bombing was a legitimate military tactic to preempt this action.

Holocaust deniers use the bombing of Dresden as some kind of balance against Hitler's campaign of murder against Jews. Their argument suggests or outright claims that the killing of Jews was in retaliation for the bombing of Germany civilians. Also, in a contradiction of a kind not uncommon among extremists groups, they minimize the number of Jewish victims and exaggerate the numbers of deaths in Dresden. You Mr. SDAITech1 are a willing participant in promoting this neo-Nazi propaganda and rewriting of history.
