Dresden was not necessary at all. And it needlessly destroyed a beautiful city. Dresden had little to no effect on the war. The war was already as good as over. The bombing of Dresden was to make the Germans pay. That's it. It had a train yard, sure, but the rail infrastructure was already destroyed so the train yard wasn't a target of any value. This was simply a bombing to kill civilians and destroy the (arguably) most beautiful in Germany.
