This act of bombing, carried out in the final stages of the war in Europe, reduced the “Florence on the Elbe“, a city with a rich cultural heritage, to ruins and caused the deaths of thousands of civilians. Context and reasons: Strategic objectives: Technically, the bombing was part of the overall Allied strategy to weaken Germany and hasten the end of the war. Dresden was seen as a major transportation hub, although the presence of large military factories in the city was insignificant. “Thunderclap“ and “Scorch Carpet“: The operation was codenamed “Thunderclap“ and implied the massive use of aircraft to destroy the city. The strategy was to use high explosive bombs to destroy buildings and then use incendiary bombs to create a firestorm. Yalta Conference: The Yalta Conference placed Dresden under Soviet control, adding to the complexity of understanding the Allied motives. Propaganda War: Nazi Germany made extensive use of the bombing for propaganda purposes, inflating the death toll to 200,000. Current Events: February 13, 1945: In the evening, the first British bombers of the Royal Air Force struck the city. A second wave followed. Tons of high explosive and incendiary bombs were dropped. February 14: In the morning, a third wave of American bombers attacked the city. February 15: The American Air Force carried out another raid. Aftermath: Destruction: The historic center of Dresden was almost completely destroyed. About 80% of the city’s buildings were destroyed or seriously damaged. The scale of destruction was colossal, exceeding even the destruction in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Casualties: Estimates of the death toll vary: from 25-30 thousand to 135 thousand people (according to the Soviet estimate) and even up to 500 thousand. It is difficult to establish exact figures due to the large influx of refugees and the destruction of documents. Firestorm: The bombing caused a monstrous firestorm, the temperature at the epicenter of which reached thousands of degrees Celsius. The fire sucked oxygen from basements and bomb shelters, condemning people to suffocation and burning alive those who did not have time to take cover. Cultural heritage: Many buildings of architectural and historical value were destroyed. Some of them, such as the Frauenkirche church, are still being restored. Military objectives: The city’s industry suffered relatively little. The railway network was restored fairly quickly. Controversial issues: The bombing of Dresden still causes heated debate among historians. Questions about its military necessity, the justification for such large-scale destruction and the enormous loss of civilian life remain open. Some consider it a war crime and an act of inhumanity, while others argue that it contributed to the speedy end of the war. The events in Dresden became one of the most tragic and symbolic episodes of World War II, a reminder of the destructive power of war and the price paid by civilians. =================================================================== Расшифровка видео Расшифровка позволяет быстр
