On the 13th of February 1944,
Dresden
great pain -- starved
said, "I have asked God to forgive me several times."On the 13th of February 1944, British and American airplanes bombed the beautiful city of Dresden in Germany. There was a terrible fire. Over 30,000 people were killed. They died in great pain -- starved of air in rooms under the ground, burned to ashes by the fire, or overcome by the heat. There were many refugees in the city. They, too, were killed.
Why did it happen? People who survived asked this question many times. They did not know what to do. They were shocked. Their beautiful city did not deserve to be destroyed in this way. They were not ready for that. And they had not expected it.
People in England and America also asked this question. The pilot of one of the airplanes that took part in the bombing said, "I have asked God to forgive me several times."
