Kurt Vonnegut was in Dresden when it was bombed in 1945, and wrote a
famous anti-war novel, Slaughterhouse Five, in 1969.
In December 1944, Vonnegut was captured by the German army and became a prisoner of war. In Slaughterhouse Five, he describes how he narrowly escaped death a few months
later in the firebombing of Dresden. "Yes, by your people [the English], may I say," he insists. "You guys burnt the
place down, turned it into a single column of flame. More people died there in the firestorm, in that one big flame,
than died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined.”

Meissen porcelain or Meissen china is the first European hard-paste porcelain that was developed from 1708 by Ehrenfried Walther von Tschirnhaus. After his death that October, Johann Friedrich Böttger, continued his work and brought porcelain to the market, and he has often been credited with the invention. The production of porcelain at Meissen, near Dresden, started in 1710 and attracted artists and artisans to establish one of the most famous porcelain manufacturers, still in business today as Staatliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Meissen.

Meissen Porcelan
Its signature logo, the crossed swords, was introduced in 1720 to protect its production; the mark of the crossed swords is one of the oldest trademarks in existence.
