GUEST,G BS: Bobby Sands hunger strike film (450* d) RE: BS: Bobby Sands hunger strike film 03 Jun 08


Terbus why are supporting this action ? The bombing of Dresden by the RAF 12 weeks before the surrender of the German army (not after Coventry as you say) remains one of the most controversial actions of the Second World War. The raids saw 1,300 heavy bombers drop over 3,900 tons of high-explosive bombs and incendiary devices in four raids, destroying 13 square miles of the city.

Estimates of civilian casualties were between 24,000 and 40,000.

Dresden was a cultural landmark of little or no military significance, the attacks were indiscriminate and not proportional for the commensurate military gains.

In the first few decades after the war, some death toll estimates were as high as 250,000. It constituted a war crime. The raids continue to be included among the worst examples of civilian suffering EVER.

YET AGAIN TERIBUS YOU EXPOSE YOURSELF AS THE ULTIMATE ASREHOLE OF MUDCAT.
