As for Dresden, it was a major railway hub like most big German cities and a lot of military personnel and materiel were being routed through the city towards the Eastern Front. Bombing it into rubble blocked that route, the firestorm was an extra bonus.

And don’t get going about Japan. Had the Allies been forced to invade, it would have wound up looking like Vietnam on Steroids, with no disction drawn between soldiers and noncombattants and casualties in the millions on both sides.
