I was an American soldier, a prisoner of war there when the city was burned and destroyed, I was not on the German side. I am not eager to keep the memory of the bombing with fire bombs fresh. I will be happy if people read this book years from now, but not because I think that important lessons can be learned from the destruction of Dresden. I was in the middle of it and I only learned that people can become so enraged in a war that they burn and raze large cities to the ground and then kill their inhabitants.
The Dresden disaster was so incredibly expensive and so meticulously planned that it ultimately benefited only one person on the planet. I am that one person. I wrote this book, which earned me a lot of money and made me so famous. Any way you calculate it, I got two or three dollars for every kill. Wow, I have a business.
