HARROWING FOOTAGE from the Second World War showing the annihilation of the German city of Dresden by Allied forces has resurfaced today, on the anniversary of the beginning of three days of intensive bombing by British and American bombers. Video from 1945, shown as part of an American news report, shows the night-time incendiary attacks undertaken by the RAF on the night of the 13th February. One shot from the footage also shows one of the RAF planes being struck by an anti-aircraft gun, which the narrator describes as a ???scarecrow??? in his voiceover. The second half of the clip shows American bombers moving over the city the following day, where they continued to drop a huge number of bombs on the city down below. At the time Dresden remained Germany???s largest city to not have been directly targeted by the allies / Bundesarchiv / mediadrumworld.com
