It was done to push Germany over the final impediment to surrendering. It was as if to say, give it up, we have a lot more bombs and targets.

Some claim it was a message to the Russians. By Feb 45 we were worried they were going to keep pushing into Europe, and maybe Dresden was an example of what we could do to Moscow if needed.
