Dresden airstrike. Military inevitable or just act of intimidation?

Parkhitko N. P.  (People’s Friendship University of Russia)

The article is devoted to the analysis of the British-American airstrike against Dresden in February 13-15th 1945 and its consequences. Military, political and psychological aspects of the American and British highest command decision to strike the city are taken into consideration. Also the author researches such military concepts like «bombing terror» or «carpet bombing», which were worked out in Britain and USA contemporaneously during the interwar period as well as the «firestorm technology», later tested by the Royal Air force on Hamburg and Dresden. American air forces have also used this «technology» during airstrike against Tokyo in March 10th 1945. The article offers logical arguments and the witness’s evidences which can seriously argue the statistics adopted today as official in Germany and other countries of the EU.

Keywords:carpet bombing, firestorm, petrol bomb, petrol, Guernica, Coventry, Hamburg, Dresden.
