I came cross this great site of historical photos, including
many from WWII. The really cool thing is that they have the
backstories with each series of photos. I could spend hours
browsing this site. They have a ton of other iconic photos,
including civil rights, WW I, Vietnam, Sports.....

I have been to Dresden numerous times and I can tell you they
are still rebuilding the city. It is absolutely a stunningly
beautiful city and the restoration on the huge churches with
gold finials is breath taking. I went for 2 hour run along the
Elbe river and was just in awe at the beauty.
