Sorta like when you helped us firebomb Dresden? How many civilians did that kill in just that round of bombings?

Between 35k and 135k.

During three waves of attacks, over 1,300 British and U.S. bombers dropped more than 3,300 tons of bombs on Dresden. Many of the bombs were incendiaries.

The incendiaries dropped on the old city center started a firestorm--a huge blaze that sucked the oxygen from the air. Temperatures soared as high as 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit. This had not been seen before in Europe, although U.S. bombing started a firestorm in Tokyo and the atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki also set off firestorms.


Yeah, the British, so innocent. Thanks for the help though, I am sure we appreciated it.
