Part 1 explores the background, the logistics and describes the beginning of the slaughter.

Second and concluding part of the 2-videos “The Destruction of Dresden”, following the three-prong Allies’ attack, the aftermath in the city, whwn, after some initial effort, it became impossible to individually register the victims, who were burned in gigantic pyres, with ashes brought by trucks to mass excavations in the cemeteries. Churchill dismissed the event with 22 words in his Memoirs.
Jimmie Moglia is a Renaissance man, and therefore he’s impossible to summarize in a simple bioblurb. In any case, here’s a rough sketch, by his own admission: Born in Turin, Italy, he now resides in Portland, Oregon. Appearance: … careful hours with time’s deformed hand, Have written strange defeatures in my face (2); Strengths. An unquenchable passion for what is utterly, totally, and incontrovertibly useless, notwithstanding occasional evidence to the contrary. Weaknesses: Take your pick. Languages: I speak Spanish to God, French to men, Italian to women and German to my horse. My German is not what it used to be but it’s not the horse’s fault. Too many Germans speak English. Education: “You taught me language and my profit on it Is, I know how to curse.” (3); More to the point – in Italy I studied Greek for five years and Latin for eight. Only to discover that prospective employers were remarkably uninterested in dead languages. Whereupon I obtained an Engineering Degree at the University of Genova. Read more here.
