These are indisputable facts in much
of Europe:
SS-Untersturmführer Wilhelm Boger,
personally shot more people at
Auschwitz,
than were killed by the 650,000+
incendary bombs dropped on Dresden.
The 1 Nazi hiding in the cupboard at
Buchenwald, killed almost twice the
number
of people that the 770 Lancaster
Bombers and 500 B-52 Bombers killed
in Dresden.

From David Irving's website,

"On March 23, 1962 David Irving visited
by appointment, and interviewed, Marshal of
the RAF Sir Arthur Harris
(above left; also known as "Bomber,"
"Butcher," and "Bert"), at his country
home at Goring, in Oxfordshire,
England. A full contemporary note on
their conversation is deposited in the
Sammlung Irving at the
Institut für Zeitgeschichte in Munich.
Afterwards, Harris wrote a handwritten
letter to Mr Irving praising
his book on The
Destruction of Dresden and
stating that he was one of the few
writers he would trust.
In that interview, incidentally, Mr
Irving put to "Bomber" Harris the
oft-posed question,
why he had not bombed the Nazi
slave-labour camp at Auschwitz. His
answer: "If I
were a prisoner in Auschwitz, and had a
choice between death by poison gas and
being burned alive by incendiary bombs,
I know which I would choose."
"I know that the destruction of so
large and splendid a city at this late
stage of
the war was considered unnecessary
even by a good many people who admit
that our earlier attacks were as
fully justified as any other operation
of war.
Here I will only say that the
attack on Dresden was at the time
considered a
military necessity by much more
important people than myself,"
- Sir Arthur Harris wrote in his
biography Bomber Offence (1947) p.242
