February 13, 1945: The Night Allied Pilots Bombed Dresden—And Some Never Flew Again

February 13, 1945: The Night Allied Pilots Bombed Dresden—And Some Never Flew Again
February 13, 1945. Allied bombers turned Dresden into an inferno that could be seen 200 miles away. But this wasn't just another raid. This was the night when Allied aircrews began questioning everything they'd done in the name of victory. Some pilots watched the firestorm consume an entire city and knew they'd crossed a line they could never uncross. Years later, the nightmares would still come. The guilt would never fade. This is the story of the men who bombed Dresden and how that single mission haunted them for the rest of their lives. If you're interested in the untold psychological cost of strategic bombing and the moral complexities of total war, you'll want to hear what happened in those cockpits over Germany.
