	History of Dresden Dinnerware
		Dresden was an important center of this artistic, cultural and intellectual movement, which attracted painters, sculptors, poets, philosophers and porcelain decorators alike.
		Dresden decorators were the first and most successful to employ this style on dinnerware, characterized by elaborate fanciful design and a profusion of foliage, flowers, fruits, shells and scrolls.
		Many of these were produced under the original Dresden blue crown mark seen on the dinnerware, but several other manufactures imitating the Dresden style attained a degree of artistry that rivaled the original studios.

	Bombing of Dresden

		American visitors were welcomed with comments that Dresden was their work that had become Russia’s “job to clean …up” (Davidson 129).
		The attack on Dresden could not match the cruelties of the Nazi regime.Perhaps, the raid, as Anglican bishop Simon Barrington-Ward remarks, was a result of Hitler’s evil deeds spreading and causing everyone to respond with more evil(“Church”).

	The Truth Seeker - Apocalypse 1945 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Within less than 14 hours, not only was it reduced to flaming ruins, but an estimated one-third of its inhabitants, possibly as many as half a million, had perished in what was possibly the worst massacre of all time.
		The full extent of the Dresden Holocaust can be more readily grasped if one considers that well over 250,000 possibly as many as a half a million persons died within a 14-hour period, whereas estimates of those who died at Hiroshima range from 90,000 to 140,000.*
		It is interesting to further compare the respective damage to London and Dresden, especially when we recall all the Hollywood schmaltz about the "London blitz." In one night, 1,6000 acres of land were destroyed in the Dresden massacre.

	Amazon.com: Dresden: Tuesday, February 13, 1945: Books: Frederick Taylor (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The rationale for the bombing of Dresden has been clouded by distortion of what happened there and has been interpreted as a perfidious British and American war crime by the last gasps of Nazi propaganda; that interpretation was continued by the East German communist regime until its collapse in 1989.
		Dresden was called the "Florence of the Elbe." Yet the Nazis, for all their wanton destruction, were careful to spare Florence itself on their retreat, blowing up the cities bridges, yes, but only blowing up the entrances to the great late-Medieval Ponte Vecchio, with the ancient houses that line that bridge remaining intact.
		As a visitor to Dresden and Berlin in the fall of 2004, and having lived in Nrnberg in the 1960s, I still find the subject matter in Frederick Taylor's "Dresden: Tuesday, February 13, 1945" to be compelling and worth further examination.

	Dresden 1945: The Devil's Tinderbox (review)
		The destruction of the virtually undefended German city of Dresden by bombers of the Royal Air Force and U.S. Army Air Force, in mid-February, 1945, remains one of the most controversial episodes of the Second World War.
		Once word leaked out that the Dresden raids were generally viewed as terrorist attacks against civilians, those most responsible for ordering the bombings tried to avoid their just share of the blame.
		An aspect of the Dresden bombing that remains a question today is how many people died during the attacks of February 13/14, 1945.

	Do Germans have a right to mourn their war dead? By Carly Berwick - Slate Magazine
		Dresden is a particularly lovely German city, even when 4,200 neo-Nazis are marching through it like orderly fl ants.
		The debate over Dresden is, in the end, over who has the authority to assert loss, victimization, and the perceived attendant political capital.
		Dresden has become a particularly charged symbol of suffering, in part because the former East Germany encouraged commemoration of the bombing, and questioning of the Western powers and reunification has brought the discussion of the Dresden fire-bombing to the entire country.
