Bombed out
From Noble Frankland
Sir: Hugh Lunghi hesitates to go on 'flogging the Dresden bombing issue' but does so for the sake of the 'record' (Letters, 20 March). The record, however, is not what Mr Lunghi thinks he remembers; it is what is in, or is not in, the records. There is nothing in the records to show that the Russians asked for the bombing of Dresden. I do not claim my memory is more accurate than Mr Lunghls. We are both old men. But I do claim that the contemporary records are more reliable than either.
