10 Most Fatal Bomb Attacks
#5 Dresden bombing:
Another chapter in World War II, the city of Dresden was one of the strongest bases of German army. The allied forces knew that, if they had to defeat the Germans, they have to take down their strongest camp, and that was the city of Dresden. The city held the center of transportation and communication for the German troops. In four raids between 13 February and 15 February 1945, 722 heavy bombers of the British Royal Air Force (RAF) and 527 of the United States Army Air Force (USAAF) dropped more than 3,900 tons of high-explosive bombs and incendiary devices on the city, resulting in a massive wipe out, killing over 25,000 people.
#4 Bombing of Hamburg:
Every war has an end, and so did World War II. The city of Hamburg was one of the strongest and centre of many German army bases. During the war, the allied forces planned Project Gomorrah on the city. The word Gomorrah is from the holy book Bible, where the cities Sodom and Gomorrah was wiped by God himself against the acts of cruelty held within the city. According to the Bible, God destroyed the city by flinging huge rocks of fire from the sky. The same simulation happened to the city, as Hamburg was completely destroyed via aerial strikes. The death toll is estimated to be over 42,600 people.
