If you can find a truly objective film.
Do you know of a truly objective one done by either side?
Like I said. I didnt watch the entire thing. And I am certainly not justifying or taking sides with the Germans. But the fact of the matter is during war all sides do terrible things. Even the "Good Guys"
For example Band of Brothers "Speirs" not only really did shoot those prisoners, but also two of his own Sergeants under his own command.
There was no good reason for the bombing of Dresden at that late stage of the war And the account presented in the video seems accurate as corroborated by this article authored by English Historian Dominic Selwood
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/history/world-war-two/11410633/Dresden-was-a-civilian-town-with-no-military-significance.-Why-did-we-burn-its-people.html" From 13 to 15 February 1945, British (and some American) heavy bombers dropped 2,400 tons of high explosives and 1,500 tons of incendiary bombs onto the ancient cathedral city of Dresden. In just a few hours, around 25,000 to 35,000 civilians were blown up or incinerated.
Victor Gregg, a British para captured at Arnhem, was a prisoner of war in Dresden that night who was ordered to help with the clear up. In a 2014 BBC interview he recalled the hunt for survivors after the apocalyptic firestorm. In one incident, it took his team seven hours to get into a 1,000-person air-raid shelter in the Altstadt. Once inside, they found no survivors or corpses: just a green-brown liquid with bones sticking out of it. The cowering people had all melted." Only about 7% of Germans were Nazis. Yet as is almost always the case during war in the 20th century. It is the civilians who suffer the most. And the civilians from either side are indeed the victims.
Our troops. The ones who had entered and or fought their way from North Africa, through Sicily, Italy, France and into Germany and all other points in between often found of all the places they had been and lands they had fought in. In the end the one people they found they had the most in common with. Were the German people
I thought it would be interesting to see and hear of the German civilian experience. Not as a way to glorify or justify the Nazis. But just to hear the experience from their side.
