I haven’t seen it yet. It’s on my disk to watch in the long winter nights.

Would have looked if it had been at a “sensible” time. Perhaps it will be repeated although experience suggests that many of these films and documentaries are never shown at earlier times. And don’t suggest recording as the hard drive is nearly crammed full with stufff I’ve yet to see – if ever??:(

Dresden – the film
A German drama set around the Dresden raid.

Hi Moggy
Looks as if only you and I watched it as you have 170 views and no comments – won’t say too much about the RAF side, but it seemed to portray accurately the German side from what I have read elsewhere. The murder of two of the aircrew, the treatment of the Jews, the shooting of looters and search for deserters etc. and the depiction of the main raid itself and how the bodies burnt up – plus people walking on fire from the fire storm.
Nothing in it about the USAAF “contribution” to the bombing of course.
Noted the USAAF side gunner in a Lancaster formation – and I am sure that one of our aircrew (with a B half-wing in the pub) was a corporal, wing roundels incorrect, plenty of Lancaster CGI (let them remake Dam Busters!!) etc. etc.
Still, it passed a couple of hours late at night!!
cheers
Allan
