Of course, despite the horrific nature of the bombing – a British POW (Victor Gregg) was present – the onus today to is paint the Nazi Germans (and their allies) as “victims”, and the Soviets as the enemy. I remember seeing photographs of Victor Gregg attending Communist Party Meetings in the UK in his old age – but following his death in 2021, the British State has been quick to down play his Socialist leanings and pro-Soviet attitudes – by declaring him an “MI6” spy! As he helped the Germans after the bombing (he ladled what was left of the bodies out of bomb shelters within which the women and children had been “cooked” and reduced to a type of thick “soap”) – the local Police (which had been tasked with executing him as a British Commando) released him as a sign of good-will. Gregg chose to walk in the direction of the advancing Soviet Red Army – which took him in and greeted him as a fellow Comrade! Whatever the truth surrounding Gregg – learn how deceptive the bourgeois State can be! Either way, the USSR stated that the Allied bombing of Dresden was not requested by them – and had no direct influence on the outcome of the battle.
