Did the bombing of Dresden significantly cause the German people & Nazi leadership to lose faith in Hitler?" Nope. Late in the war a phrase commonly seen painted onto the remnants of bombed-out buildings in German cities of the day translated was "Our walls may break but never our hearts" The average German, even Hitler himself believed salvation in the form of soon-to be-produced miracle 'vengeance' weapons that would turn the tide or the Allied alliance being 'unnatural' would fall apart.

Also do note contrary to common perception the bombing of Dresden was no more a 'war crime' than was the nuking of Hiroshima. The Geneva Convention stipulates a military waging armed wafare against civilians is illegal under Internation Law and thus a 'war crime' tis true *but* that is not where it ends. The very same Convention continues defining what is a civilian and what is not; the instant a 'civilian' picks up a weapon to use against said military under International Law they are defined as an 'armed combatant' and fair game.. and this distincion is used to current day.

Take up weapons against a military and you are fair game. Both the German and the Japanese governments were arming their civilians with the mandate of protecting their homeland against the enemy; thus have always been 'armed combatants' legally then and ever since... this distinction is why the bombing of Rotterdam and London are war crimes and the bombings of Dresden, Tokyo, Berlin and Hiroshima are not. Historical fact.

No, though the firestorm which destroyed Hamburg shook the Nazi leadership in a big way. The bombing of Dresden was a tactical strike, not a strategic one. It was designed to destroy the weapons manufacturing plants and transport hub.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
