...according to fred taylor 'dresden' 2004, bloomsbury, london. areas most thoroughly destroyed in the raids were also the areas where in the last free elections hitler's party had received it's highest proportions of dresden's vote. these were not as it happened strong working class areas of housing or industrial development.

interesting thread MF even if it does smack of an intellectual, academic pissing contest....

'...i know a lot of facts about one particular event in history, here is my point of view....would anybody like to disagree with it?'

still doesn't really call for some of the shit that gets thrown around on here though

'good 'History is an objective and empirical and is by its nature academic intellectual.....Emotional response has clouded the issues.
