German prosecutors have provoked outrage by ruling that the 1945 RAF bombing of Dresden can legally be termed a "holocaust".
The decision follows the refusal by the Hamburg public prosecutor's office to press charges against a Right-wing politician who compared the bombing raids to "the extermination of the Jews".
German law forbids the denial or playing down of the Holocaust as an incitement to hatred.
So delicate is the subject of the slaughter of Jews under Hitler that any use of the word "holocaust", or comparison with it, faces intense scrutiny and sometimes legal action.
But prosecutors have declined to pursue further the case of Udo Voigt, the chairman of the far-Right NPD, who likened the RAF's raids to the Nazis' "final solution".
Rudigger Bagger, a spokesman for the Hamburg public prosecutor, said the decision took into account only the criminal, not the moral, aspects of the case.
But he cited as a legal precedent a ruling by the federal constitutional court that favoured free speech in political exchanges, if defamation was not the prime aim of the argument.
Holger Apfel, the NPD's leader in the Saxon regional parliament, caused a scandal in January when he shouted down a commemoration of the Dresden bombing, prompting many others to walk out in disgust.
His outburst was covered by parliamentary privilege but Mr Voigt applauded and repeated the statements elsewhere.
Paul Spiegel, the president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, criticised the decision by prosecutors not to take action. He said the statements were incitement and allowing them to stand opened the door to further such comments.
"Morally, I have no understanding of this," he said. "One can ban such remarks if you use the law consistently. It is questionable whether statements that are clearly incitement come under freedom of expression."
Although the NPD is despised by other parties, German politicians reluctantly accepted the ruling.
Dieter Wiefelspüetz, the interior spokesman for the Social Democrat Party described the phrase "holocaust" in the context of Dresden as an "exploitation of the victims". But he supported the decision not to prosecute.
Attitudes towards the Allied bombing campaign, which killed hundreds of thousands of civilians, are changing. Estimates of the death toll in Dresden in February 1945 hover at about 35,000. All the same, some historians claim that as many as 500,000 people were killed in the raids.
Strictly speaking, the word "holocaust," which comes from the ancient Greek for "burnt", might seem apt for Dresden, much of it immolated by the fires started by the RAF's incendiary bombs.
But its primary meaning is now so closely linked to the Nazis' treatment of the Jews that such etymology appears to be in bad taste.
Editor's comment: Well, it's about time somebody over there gets some guts. But notice the prosecutor squirmed and said "defamation was not the prime aim of the argument" in political exchanges, according to an earlier court ruling that did uphold the freedom of speech in that regard.
And still the Jews whine as if they were the only group to suffer.
It is common knowledge among researchers and historians that the city at the time of the bombing by the Allies was swollen with refugees fleeing the advancing Red Army in the east.
The total dead is estimated in excess of 300,000 and possibly many more since many bodies were cremated by the intensity of the firestorm.
British General Arthur "Bomber" Harris was the originator of the terror bombing campaign against German cities and civilians, and it is known fact that there were no military targets in the area of Dresden.
A little known fact is that the refugees were mainly of Lutheran origin since that area is where Martin Luther's Reformation and the Protestant schism originated.
It is an unverified apsect that this Lutheran city was targeted at that time to exact revenge against Lutheranism for its split with the Vatican and the start of the Protestant schisms 400 years earlier. Ignatius Loyola and the Jesuits secret history might just be a factor.
