That was a good comeback and all, but Dresden is a

Dresden.

It was completely razed to the ground, though, in a few days time, over the course of 100s of British and American bombing runs. The destruction was far more complete than Nagasaki or Hiroshima and was achieved by way of thousands of conventional munitions. There was little military present in Dresden and the city did not play any kind of critical military or industrial role for the 3rd reich. It had been up to that time, though, a center of art and culture for eastern Europe. In addition to the tremendous loss of civilian life, an enormous artistic and architectural patrimony was lost forever.

Oops, sorry!
