My Mother told me that she saw the glow of the Dresden fires. This was 90 kilometers away! It must have been hell. The estimate is that 250,000 women, childrend und alte Volkes (old people) perished in an unimaginably horrific way. Several other major German cities suffered the same fate and hell claimed half a million more souls. These bombings of cities without any military value occured only few months before the end of the war. The Allies knew that the German Wehrmacht was all but defeated, and yet, they ordered the military to commit these heinous crimes. After the war some 1,750, 000 to 2,000,000 German soldiers, who were imprisoned, were starved to ☠!!! Almost six million german soldiers perished in WW II. Two of my Grandmother's brothers were killed in battles on Russian soil in the Eastern Front. I have some german blood as my mother's mother was German.

Das deutche Volk were slated for near extermination. War reparations enslaved them for decades.

We live in hell.

What about slide rules? We weren't allowed calculators in school (immediate failure if found during an exam), so I became quite proficient in doing math in my head.
