There is no moral equivalence as the Holocaust was systematic evil genovide without peer, but the UK does not deserve a free pass for war crime of Dresden and US does not deserve a free pass for war crimes of Hiroshima/Nagasaki.

I don't get the fixation with Dresden. There were far more abhorent targets of allied bombing efforts in nazi germany than Dresden. Dresden had at least startegic value as a logistics hub. There were plenty of german cities without strategic value, that were bombed.
