OMG! What damage ! We were there years ago . They certainly rebuilt, but lots of churches were were damaged and rebuilt ..There are pictures in those churches ,of before and after reconstruction.Awesome to
see!
Judy, the ruins of those beautiful cities were horrendous to see, but the terrible losses of life were much worse. Tens of thousands of innocent men, women and children died in air raids in Britain, Poland, Holland, Russia and especially Germany. The records show that Britain's Royal Air Force dropped ten tons of bombs on Germany for every ton the Nazis dropped on England -- not counting what our Eighth Air Force added to the total. One of my elderly aunts timidly asked me, "We didn't bomb churches, did we?"
