TIKhistory has made a video on the bombing of Dresden in 1945. Curiously at timestamp 26:32 TIK discounts the official narrative on corpse colour for CO poisoning. He says: โโฆmany of the victims were found without burns but with pink skin a feature of Carbon Monoxide poisoningโ

Pink skin appears with lividity, hours after death, as the carbon monoxide infused pink/cherry red blood settles in the skin due to gravity. It does not appear if a body is moved or there is pressure on the skin.
www.osmosis.org/answers/lividity"Lividity usually begins 30 minutes to 4 hours after death and is most pronounced 12 hours after death. Blanching, or a whitish discoloration that results when pressure is applied to the skin, can occur up to 8โ12 hours after death...The presence and display of lividity can assist forensic scientists to better understand the time and position of death, and the color of lividity can inform pathologists about the potential cause of death."

A deep red, flushed skin color (cherry red) is the one telltale indicator of carbon monoxide poisoning. It comes from high levels of carboxyhemoglobin in the blood. Unfortunately, it is often a postmortem examination that reveals such a bright red coloring. The level of carbon monoxide in the blood required to get the skin to that color is so high that it is nearly always fatal. So extremely flushed skin is too late a sign to be useful in determining if a patient is suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning."
It is also not an obvious symptom;
www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/lancet/PIIS014067360579810X.pdf"However, cherry-
red discolouration in CO poisoning
is quite rare: Gorman and colleagues3
report one case in a prospective survey
of 100 patients. Are physicians aware
of this low prevalence, how frequently
do they expect to find this sign in
patients with CO poisoning? And what
do they understand by โcherry redโ?
During a week, I asked these
questions to all consecutive colleagues
I met in Luccaโs Hospital (Italy). The
Italian expression rosso ciliegia is the
literal translation of cherry-red. 62
physicians (44 men, 18 women; mean
age 38 [SD 6] years) from 11 medical
and surgical disciplines, including
anaesthesia, were interviewed. 47
(76%) identified two similar bright
shades of red as cherry-red (figure,
pictures 3 and 5). 15 (24%) associated
it with purple and dark shades (figure,
pictures 1, 2, 4, 6). The distribution of
the expected frequency of cherry-red
discolouration followed a bell-shaped
curve. Only four (6%) of the doctors
gave the correct prevalence of this
discolouration (1%), and six (10%)
thought this sign was present in all
cases (100%)"
The corpses at Dresden had lain undisturbed long enough for recognisable cherry red skin to forum due to lividity.
