Dresden: view from the city hall (Rathaus) over the bombed city
February 13–15 – The
bombing of Dresden by the British
Royal Air Force and the
United States Army Air Forces[1] destroys 13 square miles (34 km2) of the city, and causes a firestorm that consumes the city centre. Landmarks destroyed include the
Frauenkirche, the
Semperoper (the Saxony state opera house), and the
Zwinger Palace. In the decades following the end of the
war, some of the lost buildings are reconstructed.
