The post mentioned at the top actually reflects the position of more
than the anti-deutsch in Germany. It maybe strange to reflect from a
British Left position - where the idea of Dresden is an example of
Imperialist Warmongering and commonly held even outside the left as
unnecessary and probably a war crime - that within a German context it
is used by the Far Right as an important populist symbol used for
historical revisionism.

As much as I, personally, find the paper planes protest tasteless and at
best politically vacuous it is an action report that falls within the
usual Indymedia editorial. I'm certain that we can all find action
reports that we might personally find tactically stupid, or politically
wrong, but that we understand still fit on the newswire.

For anyone who thinks this is hard to get context on the appeal against
historical revisionism might actually help make sense of the above posts.
