My response to Sir

I have elected to study the bombing Dresden because it is hard to find books in Australia that talk about the bombing of Tokyo so if I focus Dresden and get as many books as I can, possibly from Glee Books. I am gonna look at the debate as to the validity of the raids.

Dresden

Hew Strachan argues in Strategic bombing and the Question of Civilian Casualties up to 1945 that "total war", "But between 1939 and 1945 total war acquired an additional meaning; it referred to the readiness to breach the principle of non-combatant  immunity, one of the keystones of just war theory." In other words he uses his outstanding depth of compassion to discern the fate of the innocent. Strachan then continues on with this style of lewd reasoning by stating that Arthur Harris' bombing campaign is strategically viable because it  held down men and materials at home instead of the Luftwaffe being in full force on the Eastern Front. He does overlook, however, that cratering of the various beaches of D-Day or the softening of 'Fortress Europe' would have saved countless lives in June especially at the rather bloody Omaha beach.

Change of Pace

I am officially sick of going to libraries and not finding anything on the bombing of Tokyo, so I have decided to

change my subject to the bombing of Dresden and whether or not it was ethical to bomb it. *frowny face*
