The Truth about Germany and the World Wars by Terence Smart (recommended reading txt) 📖

was traditionally known for making cuckoo clocks. It was bombed a number of times but the biggest raid was on 23 February, 1945 when the town was completely destroyed in 30 minutes by the British RAF. 20,000 people died out of a population of 50,000 in Pforzheim mainly women and children and 80% of the town was reduced to rubble.

In July 1943 the Allies rained down a tornado of bombs onto Hamburg. To show how sick these psychopaths were they even named it ‘Operation Gomorrah’ after the supposed destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah in the bible by God. 3,000 British and American aircraft dropped 9,000 tons of bombs onto Hamburg killing about 60,000 civilians with a lot of them burnt alive. 40,000 of those killed were women and children. In contrast when the Germans bombed Coventry, England during WW2 about 1200 people died. The many fires in Hamburg created a whirling updraft of super-heated air which created a 1,500-foot-high tornado of fire which sucked people into the fire. 250,000 homes were destroyed and 1,000,000 German civilians had to flee the city.

Hamburg air raid shelter survivor Liselotte Klemich stated:

“The people in the shelter reacted in very different ways. Some screamed every time there was a hit. Some prayed. Some sobbed. I was choked up with emotion. I kept thinking, “My poor, innocent children. They will be taken now.” I kept trying to protect them. What’s more, I was pregnant. Finally it stopped and we were all still alive. I couldn’t believe it, because no one had thought we could come out of that shelter alive. I thought it was over, but my poor Annemarie kept crying out, “They’re coming back, they’re coming back.” She was right. . .We ran into the shelter again. The children were at the end of their ropes; they cried and clung to me. We stood in the hallway, we couldn’t get back into the shelter because the windows had been blown in. We stood crowded together. Some were sitting on the floor. My little Karin, who was five years old, began to pray very loudly, “Dear God protect us, dear God protect us.” Her little voice kept getting louder and more penetrating”.

Osnabruck was destroyed by 650,000 incendiary bombs and nearly 12,000 liquid incendiary bombs which were dropped on it between 1942 and 1945. 141 public buildings, 7 churches, 13 schools and a hospital went up in flames and 3000 people died.

Dusseldorf was bombed over 200 times with the loss of at least 6000 lives and 170,000 buildings were destroyed. Only 10% of the city was left undamaged.

Mainz was one of the great historical cities of Germany. It was founded in the first century. In February 1945 over 400 British bombers reduced the town to 86% rubble. Nearly 2000 years of historical buildings wiped out.

Nuremburg had 3,000 tons of bombs dropped on it which killed up 10,000 civilians and left 100,000 homeless. Its medieval city centre destroyed.

In October 1943 over 500 British bombers dropped 1,800 tons of high explosives and incendiaries on to the city of Kassel creating a firestorm with 1500 degree heat. This was one of over 200 bombing raids on Kassel. The attacks on Kassel left 85% of the buildings reduced to rubble at least 10,000 dead and 150,000 people were now homeless. “Kassel suffered over 300 air raids, some carrying waves of 1,000 bombers; British by night, American by day. When on April 4th 1945, the city surrendered, of a population of 250,000, just 15,000 were left alive.” Jack Bell, Chicago Daily News Foreign Service, Kassel on May 15, 1946.

A description of one of the Kassel bombing raids "Three hundred times the people of Kassel ran terrified to their air-raid shelters as giant British and American planes dropped their bombs. Nearly 10,000 were killed in the first terrible bombing, the night of October 22, 1943. That was largely an incendiary attack, which set the whole center of the city afire. Thousands were killed in their air-shelters by the gas fumes from great piles of burning coal, never knowing why they felt sleepy, never awakening. So, on April 4, 1945, Kassel surrendered, not more than 15,000 of its 250,000 still in the city and living. Thousands lay buried under the countless tons of brick and mortar and twisted steel that had been dwellings and stores and factories”

The German city of Darmstadt, in the southwest of the country, suffered several bombing raids, mainly during 1943 and 1944. Of these, by far the most destructive was the attack of 11/12 September 1944, when the RAF carried out an intense attack where 12,000 died.

The German city of Cologne was bombed in 262 separate air raids by the Allies during World War II, all by the Royal Air Force. A total of 34,711 long tons of bombs were dropped on the city by the RAF. 20,000 people died during the bombing of Cologne.

Konrad Adenauer, the mayor of Cologne, pointed out: "The task confronting me in a war-ravaged Cologne was a huge and extra-ordinarily difficult one. The extent of the damage suffered by the city in air raids and from the other effects of war was enormous. More than half of the houses and public buildings were totally destroyed, nearly all the others had suffered partial damage. Only 300 houses had escaped unscathed. The damage done to the city by the destruction of streets, tram rails, sewers, water pipes, gas pipes, electrical installations and other public utilities, was no less widespread. It is hard to realize the threat this constituted to the health of the people. There was no gas, no water, no electric current, and no means of transport. The bridges across the Rhine had been destroyed. There were mountains of rubble in the streets. Everywhere there were gigantic areas of debris from bombed and shelled buildings. With its razed churches, many of them almost a thousand years old, its bombed-out cathedral, with the ruins of once beautiful bridges sticking up out of the Rhine, and the vast expanses of derelict houses, Cologne was a ghost city."

The bombing of Augsburg in World War II included two British RAF and one USAAF bombing raids against the German city of Augsburg on 17 April 1942 and 25/26 February 1944. It completely destroyed the historic city centre and 2000 civilians were killed or injured and 85,000 people became homeless.

Although the town of Bayreuth had no military significance and posed no threat it was still bombed. Bayreuth was an ideal German town and was a cultural landmark near and dear to German hearts. It was vindictively targeted for cultural bombing by the allies at the very end of WW2. On April 5th 1945 almost half of this historic and lovely old city was obliterated and about 1000 civilians killed.

Every city and town was bombed in Germany, over 1000 in total. I could list them all in alphabetical order. Here is just a few of them. Anklam, Aschaffenburg, Reichenhall, Bamberg, Bautzen, Berchtesgaden, Bielefeld, Bingen, Boblingen, Bocholt, Bonn, Braunschweig, Bremen, Breslau, Bruchkobel, Chemnitz, Colberg, Cottbus, Cuxhaven, Darmstadt, Datteln, Dortmund etc…

“All German cities above 50,000 population and many smaller ones were from 50 to 80 per cent destroyed. Dresden, as large as Pittsburgh, was wiped out and nearly all of its 620,000 inhabitants buried under the ruins. Cologne, with a population of 750,000, was turned into a gigantic wasteland. Hamburg, with its 1,150,000 people, was blasted by huge attacks, in one of which the flames rolled a mile into the sky and roasted alive hundreds of thousands of civilians in street temperatures of a thousand degrees. Frankfurt-on-Main, a city of 500,000, was reduced to a mass of rubble. All cities and industrial areas, such as the Ruhr and Saar regions, were laid waste”, - Ralph Franklin Keeling, Author – ‘Gruesome Harvest - The Costly Attempt to Exterminate the people of Germany’

Dresden

“The long suppressed story of the worst massacre in the history of the world. The devastation of Dresden in February, 1945, was one of those crimes against humanity whose authors would have been arraigned at Nuremberg if that court had not been perverted”. Rt. Hon. Richard. H.S. Crossman, MP, Labour Government Minister.

“As for crimes against humanity, those governments which ordered the destruction of German cities, thereby destroying irreplaceable cultural values and making burning torches out of women and children, should also have stood before the bar of justice.” - Hon. Jaan Lattik, Estonian statesman, diplomat and historian.

By February 1945 the war was almost over and Germany was defeated. The city of Dresden was a beautiful historic city with magnificent buildings and cathedrals. It had no military significance whatsoever. With the Soviets army marching eastwards up to 500,000 refugees had flooded into Dresden and it was bitterly cold so most of them were just living on the streets when the bombs came. With Dresden’s population at half a million there was now up to 1,000,000 people in Dresden. A report prepared by the USAF Historical Division Research Studies Institute Air University states that “there may probably have been about 1,000,000 people in Dresden on the night of the 13/14 February RAF attack.” I think the 1 million population figure cited in this report constitutes a realistic and conservative minimum estimate of Dresden’s population during the Allied bombings of February 13-14, 1945.

On February 13th 1945 1300 British and American planes dropped 4,000 tons of bombs onto Dresden. The first bombs to drop were the explosive bombs which blew the roofs of buildings and then the incendiary bombs came which caused a huge firestorm with temperatures over 1000 degrees. When the Allies were sure that all residents were out on the streets it then dropped the high explosive bombs onto the civilians. Thousands of people were burnt alive. The thousands of people who escaped out of the city to the river Elbe were then shot down by American Mustang fighters who flew in low to murder them all including children.

Churchill himself ordered the firebomb raid on the city of Dresden (David Irving The Destruction of Dresden (1966) pp. 96-100), Alexander McKee Dresden 1945 (1982) p 300, 306, 310) in the last months of the war.

This was just cold calculated mass murder of innocent civilians, it was just genocide. This was done when the war was almost over. All the dead bodies had to be piled up and then burnt and this took weeks and weeks to do.

Below pictures from Dresden after the mass murder by the British and Americans.

The whole of Dresden was destroyed and with one million inhabitants in the city the death toll is estimated to be as much as 500,000 thanks to Roosevelt and Churchill and the Jewish advisors such as Lindemann, Untermeyer and Morgenthau who encouraged them. It is estimated that between 1 and 2 million German civilians died as the result of Allied bombing. Around forty thousand British civilians died at the hands of German bombs. But on the Jewish controlled BBC, History channels you’re more likely to see a documentary about the British blitz and not the German one. Now the fact is Hitler did not target innocent, undefended civilians like this but Churchill and Roosevelt did, but it is always Hitler who is made out to be the evil one while Churchill was voted the greatest British figure of all time. What a joke.

To put things in perspective I have made a table showing the top 8 cities in Germany and Britain that had the most deaths by bombing.

What the British suffered was absolutely minuscule in comparison to the bombing of hundreds of German cities and towns, and the casualties which the German side endured by this unprovoked, criminal British policy of targeting civilians.
