Why is Hamburg Germany such a beautiful city??? It also has a fun nightlife. And why did the British bomb it?

Question

Why did the British have to bomb it so badly?? Shame on them!!!!!!

Answer 1

Thank the British for bombing and liberating Hamburg - so you can enjoy the nightlife.

Answer 2

Hamburg is a port city, and was therefore deemed to have strategic value as a military target.

Answer 3

Did you see what the German bombers did to London and other areas in the UK? Many historical buildings were taken out there as well.   They were at war, so of course they bombed each other!

Answer 4

have you read about war world II?

Hamburg is an important port in Germany. It was therefore a major target of the RAF during the Second World War. Between 1940 and 1945 Bomber Command carried out 187 air raids on Hamburg. With the development of metallises strips it became much safer for the RAF to launch air attacks on Hamburg. The most intensive of these were carried out in July and August 1943 when firestorms caused the deaths of 50,000 people. As a result of these raids over a million people fled the city. did you see England the way it looked? France? etc.

No air raid ever known before had been so terrible as that which Hamburg had endured; the second largest city in Germany, with a population of nearly 2,000,000, had been wiped out in three nights. And at the same time the whole system of air defence, carefully built up, at the expense of all the other battle fronts in which the Germans were fighting, over a period of years, had been thrown into utter confusion

Answer 5

You need a REALITY Check...

The German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as a short-tempered lot.

They not only expect one to know one's gate parking location, but how to get there

without any assistance from

them. So it was with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the following

exchange between Frankfurt ground control and a British Airways 747,

call sign Speedbird 206.

Speedbird 206: " Frankfurt , Speedbird 206 clear of active runway."

Ground: "Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven."

The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.

Ground: "Speedbird, do you  not know where you are going?"

Speedbird 206: "Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now."

Ground (with quite arrogant impatience):

"Speedbird 206, have you not been to Frankfurt before?"

Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark, -- and I didn't land."

Answer 6

It was called war you pinhead, stuff like that happens in war. And Dresden got it worse than Hamburg and Tokyo was even worse than Dresden.
