Prior to our entry into WWII our bombing strategy was to employ large numbers of high altitude bombers with heavy defensive firepower, flying in formation, using precision daylight bombardment. This ethical bombing technique was observed early on in WWII, but at some point the ethic changed. Why? Was it a change in the ethics of the commander or country, or was it due to a technological push through the development of on-board radar? This analysis will show that although no specific order or directive specified the destruction of Dresden, those in charge had tacitly endorsed it. History shows us that because of this change, the face of war in Europe also changed. To this day, the firestorm of Dresden remains one of the deadliest and ethically most problematic raids of WWII.Military ethicsGenerated by AIDresden (Germany)Generated by AIMilitary ethics940.542Wilcox Lt Raymond H1835709MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910163325103321The Ethics of Bombing Dresden4412584UNINA
