    Human tales—some inflated for propaganda purposes, yet all devastating—told of the horror. A policeman wrote of finding a girl, black with soot, wandering aimlessly and dragging her dead little brother behind her. Official records put the dead at 13,000 men, 21,000 women and 8,000 children.

    part of war, things happen like the firestorm that no-one had suspected. One happened to Pforzheim as well, there were other major engagements with civilian deaths in Germany, England, elsewhere, lets not forget that ......

    yeah the Russians were way worse than the Nazis and they ruled the places the Nazis occupied with a iron fist so they were no different. The world would have been better off if the Nazis defeated them.

    I see you can't come up with any facts to prove me wrong so you insult me instead.

    fact is I had relatives serve on the Ost front. I had relatives get clobbered in Dresden, Hamburg........ the German Wehrmacht was ruthless on the Ost front plain and simple, the Soviets came and dealt it in return. grow up

    Who is justifying and what? IF the Germans did not kill and rape almost everything in the Ostfront starting 1941 ... why not start with defending the Germans first, ok? was it ok for them to do what they did? THEN we might discuss other things. And you cannot defend germans´killing innocent civilians and unarmed soldiers in masses so how about letting it be for the rest of your life?!!
