The bombing of Dresden

Dresden bombing is often used as an example of a world war 2 atrocity commited by allies. The idea is that a huge number of Germans have died in Dresden even though the war was over. In reality there is nothing unique about Dresden bombings which would differentiate it from any other bombing raids from the period.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Dresden_in_World_War_II And it did not happened after the war was over.
== Origin ==
This has been one of the lies propagated by the Nazi regime in a propaganda effort to show how inhumane the allies were. In a document called Tagesbefehl 47, it had overblown death information and falsely claimed that Dresden had no military significance.
Dresden was known across Europe for its cultural significance, so after its bombing it was a good propaganda topic for the Nazis.

An author David Irving in his best-seller book The Destruction of Dresden given the estimate of 100,000-250,000 deaths. He based it in on a document promulgated by Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. This document has been later shown to be forged and the real death toll was around 25,000. Irving has acknowledged his mistake but despite that later he continued to spread misinformation, even comparing the bombing of Dresden to the Jewish holocaust. Irving has been labeled by the English court as a holocaust-denier, anti-semite and a racist.
