All Hell Let Loose_ The World at War 1939-1945 - Max Hastings [473]
group.
* The destruction of Dresden occupies such a prominent place in the popular legend of the war that it is striking to notice that the latest research suggests that 25,000 victims died there on 13–14 February, rather than the hundreds of thousands once supposed. This does not influence the controversy about whether the bombing was necessary, but indicates that it caused far fewer deaths than the 1943 bombing of Hamburg, or the 1945 Tokyo firestorm.
