What is known know is that the Allies had a sound military reason for bombing Dresden, in that this was the last major rail junction in the Reich and in that the Germans were moving troops from one front to the other along its lines. This is not a subject for discussion, really. If you want to discuss it, then I suggest you subscribe to either or both of the WWII Lists, and learn. There are experts there who can parse this one into little bitty pieces for you. I am quite active in Zeiss Ikon research and have <cough! ah-HEM!> written a bit on the subject. The ICA works were destroyed in the three Dresden bombings. I would love to find a means to feel affronted by this -- but I cannot. The Germans were then under a regime which was one of the four or five most evil regimes in the history of mankind. Crushing this horror was good, even if camera companies were flattened as a result. Again, subscribe to the WWII Lists and learn. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
