The Allied aerial bombings of Dresden were some of the most famous of the Second World War, with the attacks in February 1945 having significant importance. The British attack on February 14, conducted by the Royal Air Force Bomber Command, was the most infamous of these due to the firestorms caused by the high levels of incendiary bombs used in the attacks, which resulted in high civilian casualties and significant damage to urban areas. Over 770 aircraft were involved in this attack, the most of any aerial attack on Dresden.
