Dresden Part 2 - Patreons Only

This is a bit of an experiment where we see if uploading to Patreon works, and whether folks want to watch it here, or wati for the YT expereince. Lets see, feedback greatly appreciated

In this video we’ll discuss the RAF and the USAAF’s raids on Dresden, right at the end of WW2; it was an attack that caused over 25,000 casualties, and shocked the world with it’s violence. We’ll talk about how the raid unfolded, what happened in the air and on the ground, the after math, and the raid’s legacy in history.
