I'm definitely NOT a Holocaust Denier!
👇
The firebombing of Dresden by the Allies at the end of WWII was a literal holocaust. It involved the use of ‘White Phosphorus’ incendiary bombs that once exploded traveled like a firestorm down the city streets of Dresden leaving charred, smoldering remains for days.
Dresden, Germany, a cosmopolitan city acknowledged to have no value as a military target, was a destination for tourists and culture revelers from all over Europe.
The bombing campaign continued, wave after wave, for days, as each subsequent emergency response was initiated and then cremated into cautionary conflagrations for the next wave of EMTs who would show up just in time to become targets of further incendiary malice.
So no, I am not a Holocaust denier. There is actual provable evidence to be forensically considered. Information proffered by Orthodox historians about the campaign, and Allied admissions of motive and execution of the firebombing of Dresden.
We should "never forget" and choose our words carefully when we name such an atrocity. And we should be careful not to mistake it for a myth like ‘The Shoah.’
