Dresden Survivor Victor Gregg Blames Churchill for War Crimes (8: 28 min)
British Dresden survivor Victor Gregg accepts no excuses for the Allies' 1945 bombing of Dresden. He blames Attlee and Churchill for this war crime. Victor Gregg (1920 – 2021) wrote (with Rick Stroud) a three volume memoir of which the last was Dresden: A Survivor's Story. He joined the army when he was 18, joining the Rifle Brigade. He served in the Western Desert with Popski's Army, then joined the Long Range Desert Group (LRDG). He then joined the Parachute Regiment and was captured at Arnhem. As a prisoner he sabotaged a soap factory, and was condemmed to death. With 500 others, he was taken to prison in Dresden. While there the Royal Air Force attacked the city. Victor said later "it was a war crime". Victor never got over Dresden and his first marriage fell apart.
