CLAIM: Between 100,000 and 250,000 people
died in allied air raids on the historic German city of
Dresden. This is at least as criminal as
Auschwitz.
RESPONSE: Definitive research shows that
the death toll in Dresden was around 25,000. Irving
exaggerates the death toll in Dresden while minimizing the
death toll in Auschwitz in an attempt to make Allied and Nazi
atrocities seem equivalent. They were not.
