During World War 2, Germany experienced intense bombing campaigns by the British and Americans. The British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, and Air Chief Marshal Arthur Harris planned to unleash the full power of the Royal Air Force on German civilians. The city of Hamburg was heavily targeted, resulting in massive destruction and loss of life. The bombings were repeated in other German cities, including Berlin and Dresden. The bombing of Dresden, in particular, was devastating, with thousands of bombs obliterating the city and causing a firestorm. The death toll in Dresden alone surpassed that of the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined. The Allied forces also targeted anything moving in the German countryside, including civilians and animals. The goal was not only to physically destroy Germany but also to demoralize its people.

According to historical documentation cited here, the purpose of the attack was to inflict the maximum loss of life on the civilian population, and particularly to kill as many refugees fleeing the Red Army. It was planned and executed by those at the highest levels of the British and American governments, who instructed the Allied Bomber Command to lie to pilots and their crews. At 10 PM on February 13, the first attack wave, consisting of the British number five bomber group, began. This air force, which consisted of 2,000 bombers with additional support craft, dropped over 3,000 high explosive and 700,000 incendiary bombs directly on the city center. Incendiary bombs, described as highly effective for producing maximum loss of human life, were used, with the loads carried by these bombers being 80% incendiary. The primary goal, according to British air commander Sir Arthur Harris, was to set the city well on fire. The fires caused all bodies of water within the city limits, including the Elbe River, to be set ablaze, as white phosphorus was a primary component of the incendiaries. With a chemical temperature of some 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit, this combustible agent was thrown into every nook of the city. Those unable to bear the torment tossed themselves into the burning waterways, dying in thousands by drowning or burning on the water’s surface. Despite the visibility of marked drop areas containing hospitals, sports stadia, and residential zones, bomber crews obeyed orders and rained down a fiery death upon the inhabitants. Tens of thousands were devoured in this early stage as the incendiaries began hundreds of fires, aided by a stiff wind coalescing into one massive firestorm. Precisely on schedule, three hours after the first attack wave, a second massive armada of British bombers arrived, again loaded almost exclusively with high-volume incendiary bombs. The residents of Dresden, their power systems destroyed in the first raid, had no warning of the second. The timing of the second armada was designed to ensure that a large quantity of surviving civilians would emerge from shelters to escape the city, and to catch firefighters and medical personnel from neighboring towns unawares, both of which occurred, resulting in hundreds of first responders dying needlessly. By 2 AM, Dresden’s burning hulk was visible from over 200 miles away, and the flames would continue to burn for a week. Parts of bodies, fragments of charred clothing, metal scrap, and ash scattered in the surrounding countryside; in some basements, rescue workers found liquefied remains and had to shovel yards of rendered human fat congealed into pools before reconstruction could begin. But the operation was not over, for the following afternoon, on Ash Wednesday, four fifty flying fortresses with P-fifty one fighter support arrived to finish the job. Before this, Dresden had been a fairytale city of spires and cobbled streets. The US raid on February 14 was described as having brought the German people to their knees, and it is claimed that the Mustang fighters, suddenly appearing, fired on everything that moved, including riverbanks and walking civilians. It is stated that, despite efforts by Western authorities to downplay the loss of life, sufficient primary evidence and firsthand accounts entered the historical record before these were scrubbed. The death toll is asserted to be over 150,000, with some estimates as high as 300,000, and it is claimed that, in relative terms, more destruction befell Dresden in a single day than was inflicted on the whole of Great Britain during the entire war.

If you're intentionally killing civilians, you shouldn't boast about it; it's evil, and it should be acknowledged as such. Killing women and children in war raises serious moral questions. It's hard to justify such actions, even in extreme circumstances like a world war. While some might argue there are moral justifications for actions taken during war, intentionally targeting noncombatants is fundamentally wrong. This contradicts the principles we claim to uphold in conflict.

During World War II, 'carpet bombing, saturation bombing, or unrestricted bombing' that German civilians called 'terror bombing.' It was described as 'the secret plan of British prime minister Winston Churchill and air chief marshal Arthur Harris to unleash the full power of the Royal Air Force against German civilians.' In Hamburg on 07/24/1943, there was '13 square miles of total destruction,' '750,000 homeless,' and an estimated '60 to 100,000 dead,' with 'a veritable rain of fire descended upon a targeted town' as waves of bombers returned to catch survivors. Rescuers found horrors: 'floors covered in up to a foot of greasy fat' and 'the victims rendered down into a dark liquid.' Dresden on February 13 saw 'hundreds of two and four ton blockbuster bombs' destroy 'one of the world's most beautiful architectural treasures' in under 'thirty minutes,' followed by a second wave of incendiaries; 'the earth began to tremble once again.'

The Red Army invaded Germany in 1944, committing brutal atrocities like rape, torture, and murder. Women and girls of all ages were targeted, even in public places like churches. The Soviet soldiers showed no mercy, assaulting victims repeatedly. The horrors extended to children and the elderly, with no one spared from the violence. The German civilians suffered immensely, with millions falling victim to the cruelty of both Soviet and Western invaders. Germany faced a nightmare of unimaginable proportions during this dark period of history.

Soldiers recount witnessing horrifying scenes as they move through various houses and communities: babies with severed heads, families ruthlessly gunned down in their beds.

I was trying to retrieve a body from a house buried under rubble amidst continuous bombings by artillery and warplanes. The situation was chaotic and dangerous, especially considering the crowdedness of the surfing cam.

One day we stormed a French position. I confronted a French corporal; with bayonets at the ready, I killed him—tossed his rifle away, and ran my bayonet through his chest. Blood came out of his mouth. I felt physically ill, knees shaking, ashamed. My comrades were undisturbed and boasted of killings—one with a rifle butt, another strangling a captain, another hitting with a spade. They were ordinary people: a tram conductor, a commercial traveler, two students, farm workers. We were told that 'the good soldier kills without thinking of his an adversary as a human being.' But I had the dead man before me; I would have shaken his hand if he had raised his hand. 'a man who had father and mother and a family perhaps, and so I felt.' I woke drenched in sweat, thinking what would have happened if I wasn't quicker. 'Anything else? That's beautiful.'

We solemnly remember the lives lost in the tragic attack. The sight of the devastated building in New York felt like peering into the depths of hell. The impact was overwhelming, leaving a lasting impression.

The speaker describes the bombing of Dresden, where the center of the city was completely ablaze. The heat was intensely painful, requiring a survival tactic of facing into the wind. The speaker witnessed people being burned alive amidst everything being on fire, including roads and tiles. During the second raid, tornado-force winds swept up vulnerable people, including the old, women, and children, into a central bonfire. The speaker emphasizes the brain struggles to comprehend the scale of the horror. The speaker attributes blame not to the pilots, but to those who ordered and designed the raids and methods of destruction, stating they have never been held accountable.

The German army and nation suffered greatly during World War I and the aftermath, with crippling sanctions leading to chaos, anarchy, and poverty. However, after the National Socialists were elected, the German economy improved, unemployment decreased, and confidence was restored. The transformation seemed like a cultural, economic, and political renaissance. But envy and fear from other countries led to World War II, the deadliest and most destructive war in history. Germany was subjected to terror bombing, with cities like Hamburg and Dresden being devastated. The bombings resulted in massive destruction, loss of life, and unimaginable horror. The crimes committed against Germany during and after the war have been buried under propaganda and laws for over 70 years. This film aims to shed light on these atrocities and hopes to prevent such events from happening again.

I fought not for my country, but for politicians' agendas. I remember killing a man in his bedroom while his wife watched. He reached for a gun because I was in his room at 2 AM. I was there because of a political decision tied to George Bush's vendetta against Saddam Hussein, based on false claims of weapons of mass destruction. I wonder about the man I killed—what if we had met under different circumstances, like sharing coffee in Paris? Would we have liked each other?

It's hard to see those images and think any rational leader would do that. We can all agree on his wickedness. War is brutal, messy, and innocent people will suffer. I wish it wasn't true, but it is.

They're raping German women. When people try to save the mothers, they get shot. They're shooting the children. Now, generals and colonels are standing on the road, watching this. I'm standing there, and they're saying that they lost their mother, father, and relatives. They lined up the drivers in two rows, caught these girls, stripped them, and ordered everyone to take off their pants. They lined up two such rows and raped these two girls in turn. They began to bleed, and I watched it all with horror. Then, when they lost consciousness, he pulled out a gun, went up, stuck it in their mouths, and shot these two girls. There was a pigsty nearby, and the girls were thrown into the pigsty. I was completely shocked by this story. I went to this pigsty half an hour later, and there were only skulls left. The pigs were hungry, and they ate them. Skulls were lying there, and their crosses were lying there, and the beads of these girls.

I believe the actions were evil, especially when considering the suffering of a million Iraqi civilians. As a Christian, it's hard to overlook the persecution Christians have faced, such as the atrocities committed by the Bolsheviks. Christians are the most persecuted religion globally.

World War 2 was a horrific conflict that brought unimaginable suffering to millions. The Allied forces committed atrocities against Germany, but history has painted them as heroes. The true horrors of war are often hidden, with victims enduring unspeakable pain. Those who claim the Allies' actions were justified likely have not witnessed the true brutality of war. Ultimately, there is no such thing as a good war - only those who profit from it or have not experienced its horrors firsthand.

Our tanks attacked a group of people who were trapped in houses. In one house, there were 15 burned individuals, including 8 babies. Unfortunately, no one survived. In another house, 19 people died, including 8 children. The attack was necessary to regain control of the entire settlement.

During World War II, Allied forces subjected German cities to intense bombing campaigns, referred to by some Germans as "terror bombing." British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Air Chief Marshal Arthur Harris aimed to destroy homes and kill civilians. The bombing of Hamburg in July 1943 involved high explosives and phosphorus bombs, creating firestorms with extreme temperatures and hurricane-force winds, resulting in an estimated 60,000 to 100,000 deaths and the destruction of the city. Similar attacks were repeated across other German cities. The bombing of Dresden in February 1945, targeted a city with little heavy industry and a large refugee population. Multiple waves of bombers dropped explosives and incendiaries, creating firestorms and killing an estimated 200,000 to 400,000 people. Allied forces also implemented a "targets of opportunity" policy, attacking various targets in the German countryside, including civilians. There were even plans to use poison gas on German cities, but they were ultimately abandoned.

They raped and mutilated women. They beheaded men. They burnt babies alive. They burnt entire families alive, babies, children, parents, grandparents, in scenes reminiscent of the Nazi holocaust.

We were given little information about the day the nuclear bomb was dropped. We were told not to look at the flash. When it hit, we could see the x-rays of our hands through closed eyes. The heat felt like being set on fire. Some stood up before being knocked down by the blast. After, we saw the massive mushroom cloud. Many died from cancers and other illnesses. The government's actions were disgraceful and outrageous.

The Red Army invaded Germany in 1944, committing horrific atrocities like rape, torture, and murder. Women, children, and the elderly were brutally assaulted, with no one spared. The Jewish commissars orchestrated the violence, defiling churches and public spaces. German civilians suffered unimaginable horrors at the hands of both Soviet and Western invaders. Millions were killed, raped, and enslaved, marking the beginning of Germany's nightmare.

I spent 2 weeks at Al Aqsa Hospital and witnessed horrific atrocities, especially towards women and children. One child with severe burns had no morphine for pain relief, facing a painful death. The lack of resources meant she was left on the floor to die. These experiences haunt me.

Winston Churchill, with advisor Lindemann, initiated unrestricted bombing of Germany, targeting working-class civilian areas, beginning with Freiburg on 08/10/1940. The aim was to break German morale. By 1945, 61 German cities, housing 25 million people, were devastated. The US bombed industrial plants by day, while the British targeted civilians at night, aiming to destroy homes and kill women, children, and the elderly. Bomber Harris focused on Berlin, seeking its total devastation. High explosives and incendiary bombs created firestorms, burning tens of thousands alive. Dresden was turned into an inferno with temperatures of 600 degrees Celsius. People were burned alive, and some were sucked into the fire. Survivors described seeing women and babies mutilated. After bombings, Allied planes strafed refugees and rescuers. Dresden, a city with no military significance, was largely destroyed, resulting in estimates of 35,000 to 500,000 deaths. Some RAF pilots recognized the bombings as "terror bombing." One witness described seeing women and children alight and flying through the air. The terror bombings resulted in approximately three million German deaths, including 500,000 children, up to ten million wounded, and 25 million homeless.

The German army and nation suffered immensely during and after WWI due to crippling sanctions and widespread chaos. The election of the National Socialists brought economic revival and renewed hope, but external forces, driven by envy and fear, sought to dismantle Germany, leading to WWII. The war resulted in unprecedented destruction and mass atrocities against Germans, a truth suppressed for over 70 years. Allied terror bombing decimated German cities, exemplified by the firestorm in Hamburg and the obliteration of Dresden, resulting in mass civilian casualties. In the East, the Red Army committed horrific acts of rape, torture, and murder against German civilians. Even after Germany's defeat, the Allies subjected the German people to further suffering, including mass imprisonment, starvation, and expulsion from their homes.

I attacked an unarmed village with rocket bombs and murdered 4,000,000 peaceful citizens of Oceania. This is cold blooded murder, not war. Until now, the war has been conducted with honor, bravery, truth, and justice. The endless catalog of bestial atrocities must be terminated. Forces of darkness and the treasonable minds who collaborate with them must be wiped from the face of the earth. We must crush them. We must smash them.
