I know people do that to anger Wehraboos,but this is not really different than all other bombings happened in WW2.It’s a war crime and no i don’t care if you think otherwise.
Because the Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They have sown the wind, and so they shall reap the whirlwind.
Who's saying those bombings aren't war crimes? Dresden is a terrible tragedy with countless civilian deaths, it's mentally disturbing to celebrate such a thing.
Not really true, a massive part of German production towards the end of the war was turned towards stopping the bombing that wasn't being used for other war efforts. Did it break the will of the people? No. It never has. But did it stop them making tanks and other equipment instead of anti air efforts, yes it did.
> It was a legitimate target for large scale bombing
Dresden had plenty of light industry that had all been converted to military production by that point. It was also a major rail hub for supplying the eastern front and for shipping victims to concentration camps. It was a legit a target as any other city where militarized production was taking place. Damn shame about civilian casualties, but as the old saying goes, don't start nothing ane there won't be nothing.

At least it was reliable, unlike some other British tanks of WWII. But it only stayed in production as long as it did because the Soviets liked them, otherwise it would have been another stopgap design eventually replaced by Shermans.

Anybody who genuinely believes Dresden was a war crime is illiterate. It was a legitimate target for large scale bombing. It ain’t pretty but it works
It famously didn't work though? The campaign to break the German will to fight through targeting civilians was a failure.
It wasn’t targeting civilians, it was targeting Transport and communication lines.

What's your point?

What does that have to do with the Valentine tank?
the perfect post doesn't exis....
Ah yes, happy Tank Infantry, Mk. III Valentine Mk. IX (6-pdr) day.
At least it was reliable, unlike some other British tanks of WWII. But it only stayed in production as long as it did because the Soviets liked them, otherwise it would have been another stopgap design eventually replaced by Shermans.
