Product Information
In February 1945, British and American bombers rained down thousands of tons of incendiaries on the city of Dresden, creating one of the greatest firestorms in history. Their bombs killed an estimated 25 000 people and wiped one of the most beautiful cities in Europe from the map. The controversy that erupted shortly afterwards and which continues to this day, has long overshadowed the other events of the bomber war and blighted the memory of the young men who gave their lives to fight in the skies over Germany. Kevin Wilson has interviewed over a hundred people for this book, some of whom flew on the Dresden raids and many more who experienced other aspects of bombing, both in the air and on the ground. As the final volume in his bomber war trilogy, it chronicles the climactic period in a conflict that caused devastation and tragedy on both sides.Product Identifiers
