Warfare with modern weapons in a city leaves that city pretty thoroughly ruined: Warsaw, Berlin, Cologne, Hue, Mariupol come to mind.
There were a lot of appalling facts, but where does one fit in the Red Army sitting across the river and watching?

It is a rather different case, even though – of course – all the other cities mentioned suffered very much too.
