@Fermati Chebellosei Jawoll! Und sie singt dazu 'Tanzt den Jesus Christus'.

Ja, alle anderen Städte hätten auch 45 - 46 Jahre mit Wiederaufbau warten sollen. Dass angesichts der Zustand der Städte 1945 evtl. aber nur vielleicht ander Prioritäten gesetzt wurden, how dare they. Klar, nicht alles war gelungen. Das war bei den Städten vor ihrer Zerbombung allerdings auch nicht der Fall.

@Fermati Chebellosei ;-)der war ein Maler und hat Dresden so weit ich weiß, so im 18. Jahrhundert gemalt... als August der Starke (angeblich über 100 Kinder gezeugt) diese schöne Stadt erweitern ließ, dass der auf ital. Fleischbett heißt ist ja witzig, so schließt sich der Kreis mit August, wird ja wohl auch nicht in der Besenkammer stattgefunden haben wie beim B. mit der E.-kova- lol Tu sei italiano? Solo, parlo un pocco la lingua italiano, ma amo imparare questa lingua...(i hoff i hob mi net blamiert)

You thought of Coventry. I think of Berlin, Hamburg, Dresden, Würzburg, Frankfurt, Mannheim, Pforzheim, Freiburg, Stuttgart, Köln, Mainz, Augsburg, Heidelberg, Koblenz, Lübeck, Schweinfurt, Nürnberg, Heilbronn.

@@Tortinger You clerarly had no idea to what I was refering. You saw one word (Coventry) and you went of on a rant.

@@ivenireland8270 How could I? I cannot read minds. Tell me what the intention of your comment was and I will perhaps change my mind.

@@Tortinger I think of Warsaw, Rotterdam, Lidice, Oradour -sur-Glane and Coventry. And Dachau, Buchenwald, Sachsenhausen, Sobibor, Treblinka , Auschwitz and Birkenau.

​@@Tortinger That's what happens Tortinger, when you put Hitler into power, waged war on the world, ruin their countries, exterminate their loved ones, and rule with a fist of iron domination. The skies fill up with Lancaster bombers and B17's and start dropping high explosive and incendiaries on you. Boo Hoo. I'm proud of the work those bomber crews did, damned fine job risking their lives to defeat Socialism yet again.

Normal and competent people are well aware that the United States of America and Great Britain are third ("primacy" in this is held by Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan) in terms of the number of civilians killed during World War II. It so happened that, for one reason or another, unlike the Soviet Union, which then "fought" with the armed forces of Nazi Germany, the United States and Britain actually waged war against the people of Germany (and not only Germany). This was a consequence of the fact that in January 1943, at the Casablanca Conference, US President F. Roosevelt and British Prime Minister W. Churchill decided to start strategic bombing of Germany with joint Anglo-American forces. The targets of the bombing were to be both objects of the military industry and the cities of Germany. The operation was codenamed Operation Pointblank. The so-called. "carpet bombing". It was clarified that it was necessary “to focus attacks on the morale of the civilian population of the enemy and, in particular, industrial workers” [3]. Almost all political and industrial centers of Nazi Germany were bombed. More than 100,000 civilians were killed during the bombings of Cologne and Hamburg alone. People then literally drowned in molten asphalt (they used "phosphorus bombs", which, when burned, caused a very high temperature). And during the continuous bombing of Dresden by the British from February 13 to 15, 1945, more than 25 thousand civilians died. After that, several thousand corpses, due to the impossibility of transporting them outside the city, had to be burned right on the central square of the city in front of the Town Hall (there are corresponding photographs on the Internet). And this happened just a few days before the Red Army occupied Dresden. Soviet soldiers - eyewitnesses said that for a couple of months after that, the city stank unbearably of burnt human meat, the stench also came from the decomposition of corpses that were not collected and not taken from under the rubble of buildings and structures. According to various estimates, over 600,000 German civilians were killed in World War II by the Western Allies[4][5]. The American bombing of Tokyo, Yokohama, Kobe and many other Japanese cities, including the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, claimed the lives of about a million Japanese civilians[6], as well as the lives of about 100,000 Japanese military personnel[7]. Only during the bombing of Tokyo on March 10, 1945 with phosphorus bombs (about 500 B-29 aircraft were involved) and on August 6, 1945 of Hiroshima with the 1st nuclear bomb (4 B-29s were involved), more than 200 thousand civilians died (and how many hundreds of thousands later died from the consequences of these nuclear bombings, no one accurately calculated). The Soviet Union during World War II did not carry out "carpet bombing" of German or any other cities. And the point is not the humanity of the Soviet leadership, but the fact that at that time there were practically no strategic bombers in service with the USSR Air Force. So, if in the United States and Great Britain during the years of this war about 20 thousand strategic bombers were produced, so in the USSR during these years about 20 thousand Il-2 attack aircraft were produced, which, as you know, were aircraft supporting troops on the battlefield. Thus, we can safely conclude that if the USSR was then at war with the armed forces of Nazi Germany, then the United States and Great Britain were at war with the peoples of Germany and Japan.

@kANALe Grande Hände hoch! Hitler kaputt!!

Eigenfolter? Geisselung? Pervers?

Ich war 1988 da und war völlig fassungslos, wie viel von der Alststadt einfach nicht wiederaufgebaut worden war. Ein sprechendes Zeugnis dafür wie "toll" der Sozialismus doch war.

Nein. Was genau das ist, weiß ich nicht, aber eine Bombe ist es nicht.

@@jorgpellmann434 ah ok

Die dümmste Frage ever!!!😊....

​@@HerrSchwaar Der einzige dumme Kommentar ist doch deiner. Die wenigsten hier dürften Experten des KRD oder Großbaustellenleitersein. Warum sollte man also nicht fragen dürfen?

Die Kirche mit einem Flughafen zu vergleichen. Ja, im Vergleich zu einer Ameise kann ein Mensch schwerere Sachen heben... dafür kürzer fliegen, als eine Libelle.

B No The reason why they only started to rebuild it in 1994 may well be because of the fact that an opressive Communist regime was in charge of East Germany since the end of WW2. These people had zero interest in German architecture and culture. Look what their offspring is currently doing in Ukraine and you may understand better.

Yes, the GDR used it as anti war memorial, like Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche in Berlin, Like Aegidienkirche in Hannover, Oradour-Sur-Glane in France, like Coventry Cathedral in Coventry...

@@olmaBLN It was to remind the German people of their lack of moral fibre!

@@JohnSmith-ei2pz there ist a memorial for this lack of brain?? unfortunately not, I guess

Und meine Mutter war mitten drin beim Angriff und rannte mit vielen Verzweifelten durch den Feuersturm vom Postplatz über die Bürgerwiese zum Großen Garten.

Was nothing "holy" about Germany of that time

@Fermati Chebellosei und die Judenschlächter wäre fein raus. Naja zumindest konnten sich ja einige trotzdem noch rechtzeitig absetzen. Sehen Sie damit ist Ihrem Verständnis von Gerechtigkeit doch Genüge getan.

Fick du. You Krauts started the damn war with every intention of winning it. Your little ''Giftpilz'' Goebells screamed to the German people "Do you want total war?!'' And the German people screamed back "Ja!'' Well they got it, good and hard.

Ich stimme nicht zu. Historie sollte jeder erleben dürfen. Und das die Kirche auf Basis der Ruine wieder aufgebaut wurde macht die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Weltkrieg sogar noch besser

Yes but with the technology of the day bombing accuracy was not great - as in the way the Germans bombed London and other UK cities within reach just previous to this. But Dresden was bombed as an act of revenge by the allies when the war was for all intense over this was the most deplorable act I was working in the then formal DDR at the time of this video and worked in Dresden for a period of some years just after this while the Frauenkirsche was already being rebuilt which was a tremendous undertaking yes in the end wars cause destruction - it is not an issue of right and wrong

The following BBC interview might be interesting for you: *"BBC Breakfast - The horror of Dresden"* _"A harrowing eye witness account of the firebombing of Dresden by former POW Victor Gregg."_ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qdt_dcqA0Je3l40.html

I am not. Germans were criminals then. I am sorry two stones were left standing.

Was soll denn das nun wieder heissen? AFD Hasser!

@@hanswache1240 Natürlich hasse ich die NSDAP-Nachfolgepartei. Wer die sogenannte AfD nicht hasst, ist Nazi. Immer und ohne Ausnahme.

Richtig! Aber ein paar „Mitbürger“ wollen nicht verstehen, dass die AfD ein rechtsradikaler Haufen ist. Das ist leicht und mehrfach belegbar.

Jetzt ist die AFD auch noch am zweiten Weltkrieg schuld, alles klar.
