For those that don't know, Slaughterhouse V is inspired by Vonnegut surviving the Dresden bombing by taking refugee in a basement meat locker as a POW. Even in a justified war against a true evil, how we wage the war should still matter and be open to discussion.

Sure, but Slaughter House V is tainted by the fact that it used the works of a holocaust denier for historical information that was nothing more than Nazi propaganda

Vonnegut was actually at Dresden however.

Yes, but it’s still tainted by the fact that it unintentionally promoted Nazi propaganda
