Holy Cow!  😮That is really hard to mentally take in....

In my wife?s hometown of [url-http://www.thirdreichruins.com/schweinfurt.htm]Schweinfurt [/url] there is a park called the Shutberg.  The Shutberg is a hill made from the bulldozed ruins of downtown Schweinfurt after the war.  Shutberg translates into English as Rubble Hill.  The destruction was so intense that they bulldozed everything into a hill and covered it with dirt.The is an excellent website with then and now pictures of Germany at Third Reich in Ruins.Below is a picture of downtown Dresden after the Fire-Bombing.  I was there a few months ago and aside from scorch marks on many of the buildings, Dresden has been fully restored.
