The first firestone was caused, without intention, in Coventry, the first British deliberately created Firestone was created in the bombing of Wuppertal, and then replicated many times over, the most noted being the destruction of much of the Hamburg area over 1 weeks intensive bombing, and the destruction of Dresden in February 1945 by 36 hours continuous bombing - RAF bu night, USAAF by day, this raid killed as many Germans as the bombing of Nagasaki. I guess the moral lesson for the Germans and the Japs, was don't start something you can't finish. Esp the germans, must be slow learners gave them a hiding 14-18 and they came back for more. I think the japs well and truly learnt the lesson the British Comonwealth can never be defeated.	prefect (6291)
