Churchill as brutal mass murderer

As David Irving reports in his book: "Apocalypse 1945 - The Destruction of Dresden", Winston Churchill, then the Prime Minister of Britain, Churchill had phoned Sir Archibald Sinclair, his secretary of state for air, to inquire what proposals Bomber Command had, as he put it, for 'basting the Germans in their retreat from Breslau' ( To baste normally means either to moisten meat with drippings, butter, etc., while cooking, or 'to beat with a stick, thrash, cudgel'). Of course, there was no military retreat from Breslau, and the 'retreat' from Breslau was entirely an evacuation of non-combatants. At the time, the London newspapers were full of accounts of the harrowing scenes of German refugees streaming through various cities, and women and children were actually crowding between the buffers of railway coaches and wagons despite the bitter cold.

I KNOW, FOR I WAS THERE AMONG THEM!
