"The Morality of Bomb Terror" by Lothar Fritze is a profound analysis of the moral implications of the Allied bombing campaign against German cities during World War II. In this foundational study, updated for the 80th anniversary of the destruction of Dresden, Fritze questions the common justifications for the massive air raids on defenseless civilians. He highlights the arguments often put forward by historians and totalitarianism researchers to legitimize the bombings and poses the question of whether it is morally acceptable to accept the killing of civilians. Fritze confronts readers with a central taboo of post-war historiography and calls for a critical examination of the intentions of the Allies and their current defenders. This comprehensive investigation not only provides historical insights but also encourages ethical reflection on war and peace.
