Dresden deaths of civilians are provably on British hands, not much on USA.
Every single bomb used is properly tallied and recorded in financial records. And it was 90% death by BRITISH not the USA.
Every single bomb tallied, every mission location recorded.
This is not a shame on USA as much as it is on Britain.
It would be like blaming Dresden on other allies in WW2, like Russia.
Even this year the original purchase archives and usage archives exist intact in USA. The operation has a tally of every bomb dropped by USA.
All that is relevant is LOCATION of the bomb targets (usa avoided city centers), and TONNAGE.
Tonnage of total bombs is key.
Wikipedia concurs on targets of USA :
~~~ Date Target area Force Aircraft High explosive Incendiary bombs Tonnage bombs (tons) on target (tons) --- --- --- --- --- --- 7 October 1944 Marshalling yards US 8th AF 30 72.5 — 72.5 16 January 1945 Marshalling yards US 8th AF 133 279.8 41.6 321.4 14 February 1945 CITY AREARAF BC 772 1477.7 1181.6 2659.3 14 February 1945 Marshalling yards US 8th AF 316 487.7 294.3 782.0 15 February 1945 Marshalling yards US 8th AF 211 465.6 — 465.6 2 March 1945 Marshalling yards US 8th AF 406 940.3 140.5 1080.8 17 April 1945 Marshalling yards US 8th AF 572 1526.4 164.5 1690.9 17 April 1945 Industrial area US 8th AF 8 28.0 — 28.0 ~~~
See? 2659.3 total tonnage on CITY AREA by RAF alone, on Feb 14 1945. RAF is Britain.
NOTE USA never targeted civilians in any of those months. Nor did Russia. It was 90 to 95% British murderers. BBC documentary by British government loves to keep repeating "Allied bombers" "Allied bombers" "Allied bombers", it should say "RAF Bombers" "RAF Bombers" "RAF Bombers".
Though Paper Archives in 2020 concur, the above was also in famous 1953 study :
Angell, Joseph W. (1953). Historical Analysis of the 14–15 February 1945 Bombings of Dresden (1962 ed.). USAF Historical Division Research Studies Institute, Air University, hq.af.mil. OCLC 878696404 : http://www.afhso.af.mil/shared/media/document/AFD-110208-030.pdf www.afhistory.af.mil/FAQs/Fact-Sheets/Article/458943/bombings-of-dresden/
Bombs were meticulously fastidiously tallied financially for USA side. Unlike Vietnam, WW2 had zealous USA bean counter accountants, counting and reporting on all ordinance spent. Specific per-unit bomb measurements.
TL/DR: Many now are starting to realize that the wrong side might have won WW2, but British killed Dresden Civilians, not USA
