 Respectful Insolence (a.k.a. "Orac Knows"): 60 years ago tonight: The Dresden Firestorm
Dresden was to be one of several strongpoints to be used in a last desperate effort to slow the relentless Russian advance into Germany.
By the time they were through, Dresden, the victim of perfect weather, no air defenses, bombing far more accurate than the crude methods of World War II usually produced, and the most horrible of luck, had been engulfed by the rarest of things: The perfect firestorm.
Dresden was a city of "no military importance." This is also untrue, at least by the standards of the time.

 SMS Dresden - WO1Wiki
De SMS Dresden was de naamgever van de lichte kruiserklasse bestaande uit de Dresden en haar zusterschip Emden.
Toen de vijandelijkheden in Europa bekend werden, kreeg de Dresden met de Karlsruhe de opdracht zuidwaarts rond Zuid-Amerika te varen om zich bij het Oostaziatische eskader van Admiraal Von Spee te vervoegen om de geallieerde handelsroutes te verstoren.
De Dresden werd echter gespot door de Britse pantserkruiser Kent en in een laatste wanhopige ontsnappingspoging besloot Lüdecke, bijna zonder munitie, richting de afgelegen Juan Fernadez-archipel te varen, volgens de legende de eilandengroep waar Robinson Crusoe zijn avonturen beleefd zou hebben.

In Berlin protestierte Chile gegen das Verbleiben der Dresden in chilenischen Gewässern über die Frist von 24 Stunden hinaus, ohne gegenüber den Behörden einen Nachweis darüber zu führen dass das Schiff nicht fahrfähig sei.
