Do Allied bombings of WWII mean anything to you personally?
I come from a city which was almost completely destroyed in WWII and it still affects the soul of the place. My grandparents have told me horror stories about being bombed and I myself had to be evacuated once, over 70 after the war, because of leftover bombs and I know for a fact I walked over hundreds of kilograms of explosives buried under the ground dozens of times.
