Can you suggest any official records which I could access in examining the RAF's bombing of Dresden?
I am particularly interested in examining the different sources of information on casualty numbers. Thanks |

QUOTE (jaynebrown @ Feb 10 2007, 04:29 PM)  Can you suggest any official records which I could access in examining the RAF's bombing of Dresden? The surviving official British records will be kept at the National Archives (formerly the Public Record Office) in Kew, London. You can go and see them there, but you would need to check what documentation you need to obtain a reader's ticket. The website is here. If you do an advanced search of the documents there, on 'Dresden 1944-1945' for example, the following is one of the results: AIR 34/605 Air Ministry: Central Interpretation Unit, predecessors and related bodies: Reports and Photographs However, if it is not possible to visit, the excellent Learning Curve website of the National Archives has a whole study activity on Winston Churchill and the Bombing of Dresden, including original documents, here. |
