The bombing of Dresden by the British Royal Air Force (RAF) and the United
States Army Air Forces (USAAF) between February 13 and February 15, 1945
remains one of the more controversial events of World War II.

Yes, yes. Most who have an interest in WW2 know about the Dresden raid. It
was a bad decision. What a shame that the Germans started a war that led to
that mistake. As some have said: "Live by the sword - die by the sword."

Can you name any "controversial" nazi operations? Do you think more "bad
decisions" were made by the Germans, or by the Allies?
