The Dresden death toll has been argued about ever since the raid took place.
The Nazi propaganda machine put out a figure of 100,000 citing the thousands of displaced persons in the city. The effects of the fire storm were cited to explain why there were not 100,000 bodies. Too many ppl took this as gospel, hence much of the revisionist hatred of Harris.
In recent years, the city has conducted its own historical research and concluded that much of what is commonly believed is just myth. For example, they say that the fire storm was much less consuming than believed.
Dresden now puts the probable death toll at about 18,000 and certainly no more than 25,000. Still a terrible price to pay.
(Plenty of stuff, if you google it)

I've been loosely following this conversation with interest. My brain had confused Dresden with Droylsden

Are they investigating how Matt Busby 'persuaded' Duncan Edwards's parents to get him to sign for United rather than Wolves who he had been associated for some years? Apparently buying a house for the parents was acceptable back then!

tbh I'd be careful what you wish for going back that far, they all did that.

Also, there was a video of an ex city player openly admitting to taking a bribe to throw a game on one of the threads the other week, his name has escaped me now, I want to say Roy Paul but not sure if that was right tbh

it's a wonder they don't try to dock points off us this season for cheating 40/50 years ago lol

BBC reporting that players won't leave Liverpool if they don't make Champs League - Players are loyal to the club (Barf)

Just last year the same Beeb were reporting that Pep and City players were lining up to leave if City's UEFA ban was upheld in CAS..

I live at Media City and have sometimes caught a Liverpool game at Lime bar, the number of Liverpool fans there far out weigh the number of City fans when I've seen us play there - bbc & itv is infested with them. Also remember passing Second City in Ancoats on Saturday there were more Liverpool fans in there for the 530 ko than united fans at 12 30, I've watched us play them there to and the crowd was 50:50 bet you wont find the same happening in liverpool

I see City have donated several hundred laptops to local schools in East Manchester, including data packages and City’s IT team setting them all up too. Well I said I see, but I actually only saw it on City’s website, I didn’t see it on the bbc?
