DRESDEN
The bombing of Dresden was a British/American aerial bombing attack on the city of Dresden, the capital of the German state of Saxony, during World War II in the European Theatre. In four raids between 13 and 15 February 1945, 722 heavy bombers of the British Royal Air Force (RAF) and 527 of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) dropped more than 3,900 tons of high-explosive bombs and incendiary devices on the city.[1] The bombing and the resulting firestorm destroyed over 1,600 acres (6.5 km2) of the city centre. An estimated 22,700 people were killed.
HAMBURG
From July 24th to August 3rd, 1943 the allied forces executed ‘Operation Gomorrah’ which left a large part of the city of Hamburg in total ruin. A city of debris and ash woke up to mourn those who'd lost their lives in the attacks. The death count reached 35,000 and a further 125,000 people were injured. Deep scars remain to this day.
