The Moon-like City

Most of the times that we talk about air-raids in World War two we talk about cities like Berlin or London, which were heavily bombed by the Luftwaffe or the British Royal Air Force. But they had reasons to bomb cities like this, since they were capitals of the nations in conflict and probably centers of important industries, as well as sites where the politicians who were actually in war were residing. Germany knew that Britain was the only threat to them after France's defeat, as well as the Soviet Union and the United States. However, he had an arrangement with the Soviets and the United States were looking for peace, so after France's defeat all they had to do was destroy Britain. Therefore, London was the site of the heaviest air raids by the Luftwaffe, to the point in which the city was bombed every night, a period of time called "The Blitz". As revenge, the British bombed Berlin and other German cities. All these bombings could be considered justified, but the bombing in Dresden was not necessary, since the war was almost over and the United States knew they were going to win. What is even more surprising is that in such a little time it was devastated in such a way that the city was like the moon. It is an event in history that teaches you that war is not fair.
