Proposed move

I propose to move this article to Thunderclap plan, this is the title that Patric Bishop uses in "Bomber Boys" in his index page 428, and as he (p. 344) like Taylor (214) makes clear it never became an operation. "Such opperations would serve a dual puropse of speeding the Russian's progress westwards as well as perhaps fulfilling the objective mooted in Thunderclapof creating sufficient ... further resistance was futile."

The direct lining of the Bombing of Dresden to Thunderclap, seems to have been yet more disinformation put out by the discredited David Irving in his book in the early 60s. If anyone has a modern source that can show that Thunderclap did indeed take place then we can discuss it further. --PBS (talk) 20:00, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
