The bombing of Dresden

In these nights 74 years ago the air forces of the UK and the US dropped thousands of tonnes of explosives on Dresden.

Between February 13 and 15, 1942 it is estimated that 25,000 people living in the eastern German city of Dresden lost their lives.

And all because of the man who promised he would make Germany 'great again'. A language that is currently being bandied about by a number of politicians.
