You apparently have no idea of the amount of German civilians the Allies and Soviets knowingly raped and killed. It was an absolute slaughter.

They overran and leveled entire cities. Dresden was only one. Hiroshima only got the bomb, and not Berchtesgaden, because the Germans surrendered before the bomb was done being built.

And the original post-war game plan was the Morgenthau Plan, not the Marshall Plan.

they actually didn't bomb hiroshima and nagasaki nearly as bad as dresden.

also, actually there was no bomb. the story is full of holes you could drive an aircraft carrier through. it's pure propaganda, but maybe you remember me saying that.

saturation bombing is what they did. the ones they dropped on japan were a propaganda stunt that was politically expedient for both japan and USA because russia was about to show up to the party and they would have leveled the place even more than the americans already had.

the specific bombs they actually used had extra show features like magnesium flash but experts in bomb damage saw it and said "huh, if this bomb was different why does the damage look the same as everywhere else?"

I don't know. I just know that Heidelberg didn't get flattened because the generals liked the pretty castle and wanted to live there.

So, they flattened Mannheim and Ludwisgha, next door.

propaganda and machinations of the ruling class are the majority of what went on. the real objective was displacing millions of people and murdering millions more.

as for the "bomb" it's classified how it works and the first atomic bomb test at trinity supposedly worked first time without any unit or integration tests. that's enough for me to be satisfied it's only a political weapon because they have never actually used it in war, and hiroshima and nagasaki don't count because the qui bono of japan surrendering and having victim crocodile tears to cry suited them in exchange for military protection against russia
