The Bombing Campaigns of the Allies and the Germans

[Jeffk 1970]

Giving this a bump, I've picked up a digital copy of Blitzkrieg by Lloyd Clark from my library. It's going to wait, I want to finish Ullrich first, but I'm hoping this will add a bit more to the subject in regards to German air doctrine.

Considering the Nazis love to invoke moral relativism and changing numbers in the Dresden bombing why can't we pretent to deny this holocaust? incogman.net/2017/02/a-real-holocaust-back-during-world-war-ii/#more-139769
Also were they really running from commies?

I feel this is what Ryu meant by "pretent" so I am going to stick with it for a response. Dresden was a military target and contained factories inside of it you can learn this from a simple google search:

A 1953 United States Air Force report defended the operation as the justified bombing of a strategic target, which they claimed was a major rail transport and communication centre, housing 110 factories and 50,000 workers in support of the German war effort.

Your website also lies about the death toll, and this again is only a simple google search to find. The evidence for the 200,000 figure has long since been debunked since the Irving trial:

What does the forged “TB-47” say and how does it compare to the real “TB-47”? The forged “TB-47” states that 202,040 people were killed in the Dresden air raid, with a possible death toll of 250,000. It also states that 68,650 bodies were burned in the Altmarkt (city square). However, when the authentic “TB-47” turned up in 1965, it showed that only 20,204 people were killed with perhaps as many as 25,000. The number of bodies burned in the Altmarkt was listed as 6,865. Someone, possibly in the Ministry of Propaganda, clumsily added a zero to the figures, inflating them 10 times over (20,204 became 202,040; 25,000 became 250,000; 6,865 became 68,650). The intention was clearly to inflame the German public.

Weinberg, in A World at Arms, devotes a significant amount of attention to the Allied air war. On the ground of effectiveness, he reaches the same conclusions that I've posted in this thread - area city bombing, despite the hopes/promises of Harris and others, were not effective in breaking Germany's war effort and did not/could not have accomplished their stated goals. However, strategic campaigns against fuel production and transportation facilities were, in Weinberg's view, effective - indirectly by diverting air power to defense and directly by being disruptive of key economic sectors. In Weinberg's view, the miracle weapons program was seriously and materially delayed on account of the raids, as was other war production in Germany. Weinberg also argues that the Allies by 1943 had learned that one-time big strikes, e.g. Hamburg, didn't have as much efficacy as continued raids on these facilities. His overall tone and his catalogue of effects give more support than does Overy to the success of the Allies' strategic against industrial and communications infrastructure.

By March 1945, the US had changed its views on area bombing of cities, now adopting this tactic, and launched a series of incendiary raids by B-29s on Tokyo, killing, according to Weinberg, 80-100,000 civilians (other sources point toward the 100,000 number), as many as 4x the number who perished in the Allies' firebombing of Dresden. I feel certain that deniers are deeply moved by this bombing and its horrific results. Very certain.

[Xcalibur]

I'd put it right up there with their heartfelt sympathies for the plight of the Palestinians and the Black Lives Matter movement.

[Jeffk 1970]

I'm still waiting for their heartfelt sympathy towards the poor Poles and Ukrainians displaced after the war.

[Balsamo]

Sorry to point that out, but the REAL numbers of Dresden victims will probably remain unknown...I don't give too much credit to the 25.000 nor do i do give credit to 250.000. If IIRC, there was this document provided by Hans which mentioned the 20.000 number, but it was under the expression of "festgestellt"or something, which means "counted", body or part of the body identified...
Personally, i have some doubt about the capacity of 1945 Nazi Germany to launch a huge research into all the ruins, nor was this administration at that time aware of who was in the city and where.
But again, it is not what should matter.
Let's say Nazi Germany would have lost the war in 1943, would the genocide be a lesser a crime because it would have killed only 3 or 4 millions?

As you said, Stat, The USA were in full force in its bombing trip, and while the attention is focused on the big cities, one often forgets the thousands of fighter-bombers that were targeting whatever moved beneath them in the country side.
My grandfather told me he had to find cover on a regular basis almost every morning when he was searching for milk...
It is important to say that he never held any anger and gladly let her daughter marry someone whose family as well as himself fought hardly against his country...Hence my existence...

So again, it is the policy that matters not the result of it...

[Balsamo]

I'm still waiting for their heartfelt sympathy towards the poor Poles and Ukrainians displaced after the war.

And let's not forget the Chinese who were the first to endure a cataclysmic strategic bombing...And indeed, all innocent victims are equal in the end...

[Statistical Mechanic]

Sorry to point that out, but the REAL numbers of Dresden victims will probably remain unknown...I don't give too much credit to the 25.000 nor do i do give credit to 250.000.

From everything I've read, the number is closer to 25k, by far, than 250k. Roughly. Which is why I wrote "as many as," given that the numbers are rough. But then you write, "So again, it is the policy that matters not the result of it..." Well, it is both . . . IMO.

[Balsamo]

Yes, sorry Stat, I have over reacted on that one. Just like in the good old days on the HC comments section...
But 25.000 is the lowest estimate achievable. I have nothing against it as long as it does not become a truth... Of course 250.000 is a crazy number, the result of a human reaction in front of such ruins...but it was believed as plausible, and not only by deniers or neo-fascists...

And again no, not Both...The intend is enough...the policy put in place in order to achieve the goal...

And again no, not Both...The intend is enough...the policy put in place in order to achieve the goal...

I am concerned about the result: if the policy is laser-targeting of military production but there are widespread "collateral" deaths, or if precision drone strikes intended to kill individual al Qaida chiefs take out nearby hospitals and schools and the people in them, I don't think that the intent and policy, without looking at the results, tell us nearly enough.

[Balsamo]

LOL, we don't always have the same logic, don't we?

I start with the intent and the policy that would target a specific group. In this perspective, if the means and weapons used are not up to the task, and if that detail has an influence on the results, the guilt remains the same...The intend comes first...
In you example, i can assure you that by 1945, there were no "laser-targeting" in mind... The term "collateral damages" is kind of a joke to me, although inevitable in some cases...it is the concept and its use that is a joke...
Imagine that every Police officers had a machine gun instead of a pistol, so at every alarm, they just shoot all over...eventually killing the bad guys, but "unfortunately" collaterally hitting the woman and children that happened to be nearby...one could still say that the intend was not there, but the policy would have been there...
Are you not supposed to be sleeping? It is even getting late for me...

So see you tomorrow, pal

[Statistical Mechanic]

Which is why I want to keep an eye on the policy and the results - both, not one or the other! LOL

{!#%@} I've written at length about the policy - also to be sure results - in this thread. I'm not trying to minimize the policy and intent but to look at how things work in the world and what that means for people.

You will notice that I used joke quotes for collateral; we both seem to be saying the same thing in different ways maybe ...

The point I was making wasn't about policy or death tolls, of course, but rather that, on any ground, deniers are very selective in their outrage.

Night, night

[Jeff_36]

Considering that Dresden was a legitimate millitary target, the term "collateral damage" applies here. Additionally - laser targeting was not technoloically possible at the time, so I would not make such comparisons out of historical context.


And as always, it was Nazi Germany, they had brouht enormous suffering to the entire European continent, and it gives an observer immense, visceral satisfaction to see them be forced to experince the miser y that they were only too happy to dispense.

There is no question to Dresden being a military target... There is however debate to is proportionality to their objective.

[Statistical Mechanic]

The term "laser targeting" was used in relation to al Qaida IIRC, to make a point about targeting vs results using an extreme, albeit contemporary, case. In the case of area bombing during WWII, however, the strategy and results more or less aligned.

The city center of Dresden was not a legitimate military target. Many posts in this thread explain that legitimate military targets in Dresden were not even hit (Hamburg is another example of this approach). Dresden had legitimate military targets, as did other German cities, but area strikes, mostly directed at urban neighborhoods and downtowns, at housing for example, expose your phrasing as a verbal game. That for much of the war the US and UK had different approaches, and that postwar commentators are able to make distinctions, not on ethical grounds but on the ground of effectiveness (concluding that strikes that did target fuel and communications were the most impactful and that strategic bombing as envisioned by Harris was not very effective), further undermines your thinking on this.

And as always, it was Nazi Germany, they had brouht enormous suffering to the entire European continent, and it gives an observer immense, visceral satisfaction to see them be forced to experince the miser y that they were only too happy to dispense.

Some observers, not all to be sure. Even some of the advocates of area bombing viewed the result as an awful necessity, not a point of visceral satisfaction. If you think in abstractions only - like nation-states and policies - and ignore results, individuals, and families, for example, and if you conflate average schmoes with war criminals, it is easier to gain the kind of satisfaction you describe and apparently seek.

Someone here suggested I Comment on this thread, having been part of "discussing" it elsewhere. In that context, it was part of a Nazi/nazi symp deal wringing hands over "the good white Germans" that died in Dresden and Hamburg.

I offered a different view, noting that the allied air forces obviously didn't consider the "Anti Nazi" riots in both cities where Nazi's were tarred and feathered, then ran out of the cities on a rail, and that should have spared both cities...Well, of course there were no "anti-nazi riots", and given both British and American policies for conducting warfare against Enemy Combatants, reducing both Dresden and Hamburg shouldn't be a shock. Oddly, the same people decrying the deaths of "good white Germans" say nothing about the dead in Rotterdam, London, Coventry and other towns and cities during the Blitz, then the V* weapons falling on Britain and Rotterdam killing more tens of thousands, which also should surprise no one in light of a commonly read book "The Theory of Frightfulness" by Italian Guilo Douhet, published in the 20s and undoubtedly read by Luftwaffe strategists, and Arthur Harris. Douhet said the next war would be won, in large measure, by bombing cities and civilians, in contrast to doctrines supposedly sparing these
'non military targets." The sooner bombed, the sooner a warring nation could be brought to their knees by killing the support systems needed on "the home front," breaking an enemy's will. Of course, nothing was said about US bombing campaigns in the Pacific, which were even more horrific and with higher body counts, but those that died weren't "good white Germans," but Japanese, another racial kettle of fish, potentially. IMO, and I'll say it again here, gawd bless Harris and the US Eight Air Force! The Germans were, in a way, lucky, they gave up and surrendered before the US had an atomic weapon. There well may have been the proverbial "Two suns in the sunset" over Berlin, instead of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, or over all three. Although horrific, the bombings of Dresden and Hamburg should not be either shocking or a surprise to anyone other than someone trying to unsuccessfully wave "a bloody shirt" to bolster a new love of the old. now dead, Third Reich.

Interesting you post this jeffk. I've seen ME262s in flight and up close several times. The ME262 Project was based at Paine Field, near Everett, WA where Boeing builds and tests 747s, 67s, 77s and 87s. They'd take off and land literally overhead of where I worked, and more than once had a chill up my spine seeing an ME262 landing overhead when sitting at a stop light on the way home. The team did a great job with the 262s. Another place to look: TY for the nostalgia.

>> " Although horrific, the bombings of Dresden and Hamburg should not be . . . shocking . . . to anyone other than someone trying to unsuccessfully wave 'a bloody shirt' to bolster a new love of the old. now dead, Third Reich"

Shocking is not the word I'd use but I've made clear throughout this thread why I strongly disagree with this general sentiment. It is possible to recognize Allied wrongdoing whilst reserving far harsher judgment for the Third Reich. The way this is stated virtually brackets out concern over elements of Allied conduct as Nazi boosterism.

I too am Jeff, I am not exactly mystic, but I share almost all of your sentiments. I think that Harris was not a particularly good strategist - the Americans had a far better idea of how to proceed than he did - but overall I think that the Nazis wrote the book on area bombing, only for it to be thrown at them. Yes, Britain was the first to embark upon bombing of urban areas, but Nazi Germany was the first to use incendiary ordnance.
