There were no war factories located at Dresden. When the bombing began, the civilian population of the city took refuge in the city's subway system and suffocated to death. KV and other POWs were enlisted to take out the bodies of the dead. It isn't surprising that he suffered depression for the remainder of his life and had attempted suicide during his latter years.

I think when such a person goes, the best way to honour them is to look lively & sharpen up, as it were. It may seem harsh to say it, but: that's one less sharp mind & set of clear eyes watching our backs, folks.

I've only read "The Sirens of Titan" which at the time blew my mind conveniently . Ever seen the movie "Contact"? I think the planet where Jodie Foster travels to is based on his depictions of Titan. However i'd gladly read any of his latest works, for instance A Man Without a Country... Sad indeed. I’ve only read “The Sirens of Titan” which at the time blew my mind conveniently .
