A great walking tour and discussion regarding Dresden’s history in relation to Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse 5 and Dresden’s guilt or innocence regarding the bombing of Dresden by the Allies in WW2. Our tour guide was fantastic, giving a good insight and examples throughout - it’s easy to see this man is a teacher - really engaging and passionate about the subject … and a good sense of humour too 😁 We met Danilo again the following day … and he recognised us instantly (the 2 Nurses 😂) Great guide, insightful, highly recommended ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
