History

Historical Context

In February 1945 the RAF and USAAF bombed Dresden, dropping about 7,100 tons of high-explosive and incendiary bombs and killing up to 25,000 civilians. The raid was a key episode of the Allies’ strategic bombing that also flattened Hamburg. Russian drones and missiles now hitting Zaporizhzhia, Kryvyi Rih and Odesa echo that urban-target pattern, reviving calls for strict 1949 Geneva Convention compliance.
