The Beautiful Dresden in Chapter 6

     Once the Americans arrived to Dresden, "the boxcar doors were opened, and the doorways framed the lovliest city city that most of the Americans had ever seen.  The skyline was intricate and voluptuous and enchanted and absurd.  It looked like a Sunday school picture of Heaven to Billy Pillgrim."  Now back in 1945, a city like Dresden would truly look like heaven to an average American who has only seen the 1945 Indianpolis.  Sadly, war took it's effect on the beautiful city.
