189lb enforcers? Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) War. Civilian-filled Dresden, Germany in 1945. ”... more destruction fell that city in a single day than was inflicted on the who of Great Britain during the entire war.” I take Remembrance Day very seriously as that is what was taught to me by my family. I often think of the people who were forced to go into war throughout the year. Absolute horror. I can’t even imagine. Here is a different perspective on a two-day annihilation of Dresden, Germany. I figured it would be good to reflect on the war in a non traditional sense and came upon the sobering, deleted video. No part of my ancestry is German, but it hit me in the guts just the same. Lest we forget, all of them, even the German civilians... Edited November 11, 2020 by 189lb enforcers? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
