  26. A historian is challenging the theory that the Anglo-saxons marched from Stamford Bridge to fight in the Battle of Hastings. He has been re-examining Anglo-Saxon Chronicles as well as 11th century sources. He states that the idea of marching from the north to meet William was a Victorian idea. Instead he says that Harold used England's naval assets to make the journey south. It comes as the Bayeux Tapestry is about to go on display in the UK.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce3gdx

  35. The bombing of Dresden (February 13–15, 1945)


    German writer and Nobel Prize winner Günter Grass and former editor of The Times Simon Jenkins believe that the bombings were a war crime. Jenkins also considers the bombings to be crimes against humanity. Gregory Stanton, president of Genocide Watch, writes that, along with the Holocaust, the bombing of Dresden and the nuclear strikes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were also war crimes and acts of genocide.

    American journalist and literary critic Christopher Hitchens expressed the opinion that the bombing of many German residential areas, which served as living targets, was carried out solely so that new aircraft crews could practice bombing. In his opinion, the Allies burned German cities in 1944-1945 only because they were able to do so.

    In his book, German historian Jörg Friedrich noted that, in his opinion, the bombing of cities was a war crime, since in the final months of the war it was not dictated by military necessity. In 2005, Friedrich noted that “it was a bombing that was completely unnecessary from a military point of view,” “an act of unjustified terror, mass destruction of people, and terrorization of refugees.” German historian Joachim Fest also believes that the bombing of Dresden was not necessary from a military point of view.

    The question of whether the bombing of Dresden constitutes a war crime is meaningless without considering the bombing of cities such as Würzburg, Hildesheim, Paderborn, and Pforzheim, which had no military significance, were carried out in an identical manner and were also almost completely destroyed. The bombing of these and many other cities was carried out after the bombing of Dresden.

    In Dresden, a memorial inscription about the bombing of the city by the American and British Air Forces in February 1945 was removed.

    Then between 100 and 300 thousand city residents died.

    The documented number of completely destroyed residential buildings, including apartment buildings, exceeded 78 thousand buildings, and the population of the city before the bombing, including refugees, was at least 900 thousand people (according to other sources, 1.2 million).

    The Americans themselves explained the ruthlessness of the bombing by the fact that after the war the city passed into the area of ​​responsibility of Moscow, which would have to spend significant funds on its restoration.

    So this is exactly what the people of Dresden should forget.
