Germans still divided over Dresden legacy

[Kai Frederik Lorentzen]

The problem is: Neo-Nazis hijacked the legitimate mourning during recent 
years, and the local authorities in Dresden are not able or willing to 
stop this.

... 1945 ... My mom - möge ihr die Erde leicht sein! - was there and she 
was not even two years old.

Why Queen Lizzy gave her blessings for the Bomber-Harris-Memorial in 
1992, escapes if not my sociological then at least my human 
understanding ...

Me personally I have never touched a book by Churchill my whole life. 
Never will -
