With the 75th anniversary of the Dresden bombings, a timely documentary is streaming now on Netflix Canada, The Greatest Events of WWII in Colour.
One episode of the series specifically addresses the bombing of Dresden. Unlike many articles, books and news stories on the subject, the program offers a fascinating and most importantly, balanced perspective of the events, honoring both the German civilians who lost their lives as well as the efforts of the Allied air crews who took part in the raid.
