Gaspers: Dresden (1967)

From the March 1967 issue of the Socialist Standard

“Twenty-two years ago last night . . .  135,000 people died in an Anglo-American raid on Dresden. It was probably the biggest and quickest single massacre in history . . . The Hiroshima atom bomb killed only 71,000.” (Guardian article 14.2.67.)

'Gaspers' were a feature of the Socialist Standard in the mid-to-late 60s in the pages of the Socialist Standard. They were wee space fillers, making short and not so sweet points against the barbarity and in(s)anity of capitalism.
