WWII - Aerial bombing of Germany
During World War II, 1.3 million tons of explosives were dropped on the territory of the German Reich. Starting in 1941, the Allies began massive area bombing of explosive and incendiary bombs and flew attacks especially against major German sites and the Ruhr area. The first 1000-bomber raid hit Cologne in May 1942. The "firestorm of Hamburg" claimed thousands of civilian victims. Berlin was subjected to massive air raids starting in November 1943, with some 30,000 casualties. Shortly before the end of the war, the militarily insignificant bombing of Dresden killed 25,000 people.
