Why do I say this? For a number of reasons, most especially the fact of who ACTUALLY started both WWI and WWII, but that is another subject, for another time....
Above are victims of the strategically unneccesary bombing attack upon Dresden..a city of unarmed civillian refugees, mostly women and children. More of Ilya Ehrenberg's words...
"The Germans are not human beings. From now on, the word 'German' is the most horrible curse. From now on, the word 'German' strikes us to the quick. We have nothing to discuss. We will not get excited. We will kill. If you have not killed at least one German a day, you have wasted that day ... If you cannot kill a German with a bullet, then kill him with your bayonet. If your part of the front is quiet and there is no fighting, then kill a German in the meantime ... If you have already killed a German, then kill another one - there is nothing more amusing to us than a heap of German corpses. Don't count the days, don't count the kilometers. Count only one thing: the number of Germans you have killed. Kill the Germans! ... - Kill the Germans! Kill!"
