Of all these, only Warsaw was demolished systematically, and to the greater extent not by regular weapons, but by engineering corps using fire and explosives after the fighting has already stopped (the capitulation of the uprising in Oct 1944). It is a rather different case, even though – of course – all the other cities mentioned suffered very much too.
