Dresden—Coventry

Dresden—Coventry

Dean Chandler told of the story of his guide who went through the bombing of Dresden, a horrible experience, these people were earnest and desperate at the thought of a Third World War; this poor girl had screamed aloud in the street when he mentioned its possibility.

In answer to interjections of "Who started the war" and "Coventry" the Dean emphasised that the fate of youth was the same regardless of country, he was telling of the experiences of those he had seen in Germany. (This, seemed a fair answer from the pacifist viewpoint, and the Dean could not be accused of defending the Germans.)
