- cmrdporcupine 6y agoSorry but these efforts are completely pale in comparison to what was done to the cities of the German industrial heartland in the last year of the war. I have seen pictures of Mainz (my grandparent's home) where there's not a single building left fully standing in the entire downtown core. That's not to say the Germans wouldn't have tried, if they could have. But they were tied up in the east doing very awful things there. The Russians unfortunately bore the brunt of total Nazi savagery.
