Female activists in the german city of Dresden have gone half – n*de painting their bre*sts with slogans to praise a cetain bomber, named Harris. The bombing was said to have taken place in dresden.
Germany’s pirate party has condemned one of their members after she stripped off to reveal a slogan praising Bomber Harris – the RAF chief who ordered the Dresden bombings – painted on her bre*sts.

Pirate party members and people in the city said they were shocked by the fact that Dresden-based activist Anne Helm, 27, was one of those who staged the n***d protest just days after the anniversary of the brutal bombing.
A spokesman for the party leadership in Berlin said:
“This stunt was certainly not done in the name of our party and we distance ourselves from it. And more, we condemn it.”
But they stopped short of throwing her out of the party despite massive protest in their own ranks. The bombing of Dresden in the closing months of the war involved 722 heavy bombers of the British Royal Air Force (RAF) and 527 of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) that dropped more than 3,900 tons of high-explosive bombs and incendiary devices on the city.
It caused a firestorm that destroyed over 1,600 acres of the city centre killing between 22,700 and 25,000 people – most of them civilians.
Harris, the Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief (AOC-in-C) of RAF Bomber Command, helped carry out the United Kingdom’s most devastating attacks against the German infrastructure and population, including the Bombing of Dresden.
Right up to the end Harris, who died in 1984 aged 91, refused to apologies for the deaths saying:
”The bombers kept over a million fit Germans out of the German army. Manning the anti-aircraft defenses; making the ammunition, and doing urgent repairs, especially tradesmen.”
But it remains controversial because of the vast number of civilian deaths, and the Femen protest praising Bomber Harris on the anniversary of the raids that took place between 13 and 15 February 1945 has infuriated locals.
The Femen girls posted the image snapped in Dresden on Twitter, with their faces masked and their hands made into fists. They said:
“Femen wants to show solidarity with the antifascist movement in Dresden.” They added that Bomber Harris had also been dedicated to the fight against fascism.
The move however resulted in a firestorm of protest with online commentators saying that the protest was an insult to the other young women and children had died in the bombing. One said:
“Any credibility that the German Femen ever had has been destroyed with this s****d protest.”
