The Heretics' Hour: Memorializing Dresden in an Age of Treason
February 13, 2012 
Tanstaafl of Age-of-Treason Blog and Carolyn Yeager try to make sense of the senseless and question why people believe the unbelievable. The destruction of Dresden and the denial of its true magnitude is symptomatic of the sickness of our age. Topics include:
- Carolyn reads passages about the Dresden bombing from The Fire by Jörg Friedrich;
- The bombing was in three waves from night to the next noontime in order to kill as many people as possible;
- The figures of over 100,000 dead are not off the chart, but were determined by responsible civic officers who were there;
- The temperature of the Dresden fires reached more than twice what is necessary for cremation;
- Today, political correctness insists it be played down, most especially by the German government;
- While in London, a new large memorial to the British pilots of Bomber Command is reaching completion;
- Tanstaafl’s guide to understanding the Jewish narrative is “What’s good for the Jews.” It’s no more complicated than that.
Rodney Martin call in the 2nd hour to comment on Dresden anniversary.
