Dresden… is not the example you want, it's really not. maybe don't hold up one of the worst warcrimes the allies did as if it hurt the Nazis (it did not)

"If the Germans want total war, that's what they will get"

Bombing cities full of civilians, with lots of architectural landmarks and little to no military value, to own the Nazis.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for not holding back against Nazis. I'm always saying that we're due for Barbara Pit pt. 2, but this one seems like a cut off your nose to spite your face situation. We all lost when Dresden was almost leveled to the ground, not just Germany.
