About the only industry that was in Dresden,Germany in World War Two was
Chinaware and I don't remember what the other industry was,but it had
nothing to do with War Materiel.Dresden,Germany was firebombed for
absolutely NO ''reason'' at all.

There is an elderly guy who lives down the street from me.He was in the
149th Signal Company,U.S.Army in Europe in World War Two,he worked in
Motor Pool.He once told me his Company was heading to Bastogne at the
tail end of the Battle of the Bulge.This evening or tomorrow,I am going
to ask him if he ever met Kurt Vonnegut.

* "The list sent back to him included oil plants, tank and aircraft
factories and the cities of Berlin and Dresden. In the discussions
which followed, the Western Allies pointed out that unless Dresden was
bombed as well, the Germans could route rail traffic through Dresden
to compensate for any damage caused to Berlin and Leipzig."
* "Soviet military intelligence asserted that trains stuck in the
main station were troop trains passing through Dresden to the
front."
