In February 1945, British & American bombers rained down thousands of tons of incendiaries on the city of Dresden, creating one of the greatest firestorms in history. Their bombs killed an estimated 25, 000 people, & wiped one of the most beautiful cities in Europe from the map. The controversy that erupted shortly afterwards, & which continues to this day, has long overshadowed the other events of the bomber war, & blighted the memory of the young men who gave their lives to fight in the skies over Germany. This book neither condemns the bombing of Dresden, nor excuses it, but simply puts it in its proper context as a devastating set of raids in a much larger campaign. To the crews who flew over Germany night after night there were other much more pressing worries: the V2 rockets that threatened their loved ones at home, the brand new German jet fighters that could strike them at speeds of over 600mph, the deadly flak over the cities of the Ruhr Valley. The bomber war had entered its final unforgiving months, & no quarter was given on either side. Kevin Wilson has interviewed over a hundred people for this book, some of whom flew on the Dresden raids, & many more who experienced other aspects of bombing, both in the air & on the ground. JOURNEYS END chronicles the brutal endgame of a conflict that caused devastation & tragedy on both sides. ...
