In a speech at a dinner in Chicago on July 31, 2009 David Irving speaks on the February 1945 Dresden death roll - he describes how intercepted messages of Dresden's police chief (see below) justified his own 1963 book claim that 135,000 died in the firestorm. (In 2002, before these decoded messages were found, a British High Court judge described this as a falsification of history.) Victims were cremated on huge funeral pyres for days after the 1945 British raid.
